Fall City Days - June 14, 2008

 

Letter from Judy Dix/ FC Days Committee

 

We had such great weather for our street fair this year. I hope you were able to move about town and enjoy the performances and music sponsored by FC Arts and 4 Culture.  The new Fun Run crew, Kirk, Debbie, Yvonne and Deric, did an awesome job.  Even with last minute registrations and working around a new traffic circle, the race went off without a hitch…  Good work!  The parade was very colorful as usual, with so many wonderful performances and floats.  Libby, Jane and Anne worked very hard.   Anne you will be missed, but Carnation is gaining a great parade coordinator.  Anyone interested in helping Libby and Jane with parade in ‘09 please let us know. Carmen and Melody, got a good dose of sunshine, but held down the merchandise table for us. (*minus a canopy)   We have more shirts, hats and mugs to sell throughout the summer at Fall City Cuts.  Special thanks goes to two new staging and electrical crew members Steve Turcotte and Greg Mason.  Thank you to Nancy and her “pit” crew for directing our 2nd annual watermelon eating contest. (*minus a megaphone)  Down at FCES, the hoop-fest team headed by Curtis Downer and Eric Riley, organized a fun and successful competition.  John Lazenby and his team did a great job getting the detour route laid out and our security squad kept us safe throughout the day.  The Boy Scouts kept the streets clean while the trash apes “entertained” the crowd.  My vendor coordinators, Cheri & Susan, were extremely helpful, and since we had many last minute arrivals and cancellations they had orchestrated a smooth set-up before most of you were even awake!  Judy and Jack Kelley graciously lent me their golf cart again. Steve and Vanessa, helping wherever and whenever they are needed.  Laurie and Joan, you are the best, all our bills get paid and the checkbook balances!  Last but NOT least, Lee Alexander, my FC Days guru, kept us on our toes and in radio contact throughout the day and he really is the “heart” of this event. 

 

The river levels were too high for the Duck Derby so we are postponing the race until later in the summer.  We’ll confirm the date soon and advertise in the local newsletters and businesses. So don’t miss the chance to join us for some more hometown family fun…

 

 

*Requests: we are in need of a couple of items that we are missing, namely a canopy and a megaphone!
