2004
Croaker Festival
a hometown fair
The 2004 schedule will be announced later, but it will be similar to 2003 which is given below.
This is the Festival's 23rd anniversary and plans are underway to provide some family entertainment and bring some lighter moments in these difficult times.
Betsy Arnfast of Oriental Screen Prints has come through with another wonderful T-shirt design and these will go on sale mid-June.
The Kiddie Fun Fair is in the same place! All sorts of fun and games will be on hand!
If any group or organization would like to raise money for their cause, having a booth here is a fun and ideal way to achieve your budget needs. Call Toni Leavitt for details (249-0849).
The Festival will start at 4:00PM Friday, 4th July at the Waterfront. See schedule below for details.
The fireworks have been ordered from Melrose Pyrotechnics who performed for us last year and you can expect another spectacular display.
The coloring contest and the
photo contest will be run and other entertainment is being booked, port-o-johns reserved, food and arts 'n craft
booths are lining up....it's going to be another great weekend! But the . If
each family who attends were to donate something, the Festival could live on forever. It's
up to you!
