Songs of Summer Festival
The Songs of Summer Festival is coming up on August 14th at Memorial Park on Lake Ripley in Litchfield. Gates will open at 4 p.m. and the music starts at 5 p.m.
There will be 3 bands – beginning with Vintage Revival performing at 5 p.m., followed by South 40, and then this year’s headliner – Shirts and Skins. Cammy Moses says she’s seen the band perform and it will be a lot of fun.
Moses says they already have several food and beverage vendors lined up including the Knights of Columbus, Wrestling Club, LAMP/Kinship, Herradura’s and the American Legion. She says there are $20 raffle tickets available for sale at Mid Country Bank and the American Legion and the top prize will be $1,000.
Amanda Nelson says they accept freewill donations at the event to help cover expenses. She says they have lots of great sponsors who help cover some of the costs of the event.
Nelson says more sponsors are welcome, and the proceeds from the raffle tickets help to fund the grants that they award to various youth-related organizations in the community. She says people should mark their calendars for the Songs of Summer Festival on August 14th and remember to bring your lawn chairs.
