Songs of Summer Festival

The Songs of Summer Festival is coming up at the Litchfield Civic Arena on August 18th, and that date will also mark the starting weekend of the State Amateur Baseball Tournament in Litchfield. The Litchfield Baseball Association is also getting prepared for its Town Ball Tour Night on June 28th.

Sarah Jones says the June 28th event will include pork chops served by Bruce Hamm, Meeker County dairy princesses serving ice cream, the Watercade Royalty, a petting zoo, a performance by the Litchfield High School marching band at 6:45 p.m. and booths with the Songs of Summer Festival Committee and the Litchfield Downtown Council. She says it would be a great night for people to check out the improvements at Optimist Park.

Jones says the start of the State Amateur Baseball Tournament will overlap with the Songs of Summer Festival on August 18th at the Litchfield Civic Arena, but they are working together to provide parking spots and shuttle services in the northeast part of Litchfield.

Paulette Liestman says they have a lot of vendors coming to the Songs of Summer Festival on August 18th. She says they’re hoping to be able to have the event outdoors this year and there will be lots of great music.

Liestman says they will be selling raffle tickets during the Litchfield Watercade Art-in-the-Park event on July 8th. She says they will be ready to announce soon who the grant recipients will be for this year’s Songs of Summer Festival.
