Songs of Summer Festival

The Songs of Summer Festival is coming up on August 16th at Memorial Park in Litchfield with gates opening at 4 p.m. Michael Shynes will begin performing at 5 p.m., followed by the Fabulous Armadillos.

Amanda Nelson says there will be a fenced-in area for the event which will include the Splash Pad and the playground and Litchfield Rotary Club members will be at the gates accepting freewill donations. She says three youth-oriented groups will be benefitting from this year’s event – LAMP/Kinship, 4H Horse Club, and St. Philip’s Catholic School.

Nelson says there will be several vendors including Gypsy Bowls, Herradura’s, Wrestling Club, Boy Scouts, Knights of Columbus, Rescue Squad, LAMP and the American Legion. She says you should bring your ID, a lawn chair, and some cash; and t-shirts and can koozies will be available to purchase at the event that evening.

Sarah Jones says she still has some raffle tickets available and there are more at Mid-Country Bank in Litchfield. She says the Songs of Summer Festival is a family-friendly event.
