On behalf of the Festival in the Park Volunteer Committee I would like to thank all involved for their contributions, time and energy, because of you this year’s Festival was a tremendous success. Our park looked great and there were several comments from people visiting that we are fortunate to have such a gathering place. Again this year our local youth came out in large numbers. It is great to see so many participating in the free activities. I emphasize free because one of the goals for all the years of the Festival has been to provide activities free of charge. Any child can participate by being there! Adults you aren’t left out either, you can belly flop by just giving us a call before we call you.
The volunteer committee spends many hours getting ready for the Festival each year; it couldn’t be done without their commitment. We have finished wrapping up the 2010 event and are hard at work getting ready for the 2011 Festival to be held August 11-14. If you would like to get involved, even for just an hour, please give us a call.
To everyone who donated cash and merchandise, thank you. It takes about $20,000 to put on the event and it is all donated by local merchants and residents. Watch for our fundraisers throughout the year, we will again be doing a pancake breakfast in January and new for this year will be a chili cook-off in October, scheduled for Sunday, October 17th. Watch the DCI for more details.
