American Festival

January 29th, 2007 by Alica

Here’s your ballot with options for the 2007 American Festival. Post your top three picks by Feb. 15 so the planning committees can get started putting together plans for the annual event.

These suggestions came from a Jan. 23 public brainstorming meeting. Deanna White, coordinator of the Brandon Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, is asking people to number their top three favorites from 1 to 3. It’s ok to add write-ins, too, if you have an idea you think would be great fun for the annual community Festival.

You can vote by posting your choices here, or by calling the Chamber office at 582-7400, or by e-mailing the Chamber at brancofc@alliancecom.net.

    I’d really love to see a Tractor Pull!

    I think a car show and a live band/dance would be wonderful!

    I can’t wait for the festival this year!

    I think the kids would love a carnival-games and prizes are always a hit!

    I would like to see it later in the month. That weekend always seems to be really cold.

    Parade concessions would be good too, especially drinks and snack foods.
