The event is a fundraiser and also a fun-raiser, as the Vintage Band Festival board (I am currently its secretary) prepares for the next big four-day Vintage Band Festival set for July 28-31, 2016.
The festival has grown each time it’s been held (in 2006, 2010, and most recently last summer), and it takes a lot of coordination, effort and money to pull it together. Tomorrow’s event is free, but we will be gratefully accepting donations and donation pledge forms throughout the day; if you can’t make it to the one day event but want to support the planning for 2016, you can give online through our website: Vintage Band Festival.
And if you have a hour or two – or four – to spare tomorrow, we are still looking to fill a few volunteer spots. We can use help with tasks like handing out programs, taking donations, and assisting the bands with set up. You can sign up through our VolunteerSpot page; just click the button below:
The weather forecast for tomorrow looks extremely promising – low- to mid-80s and sunny – so you might want to bring sunscreen and sunglasses along with your chairs or blankets. The Riverwalk Market Fair starts at 9 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m., so be sure to arrive in time to browse the booths selling summer produce, artisan foods, and art. Then stick around to browse the downtown shops and get something to eat or drink at a local restaurant or one of the food booths supporting the VBF (Maria’s Taco Hut, the Cannon Valley Lions Club, and the Main Street Moravian Church).
It’s going to be a day filled with music and fun here in the Second-best Small Town in America – I hope you can join us!
