Songs of Summer Festival August 15th

The Songs of Summer Festival will be coming up on August 15th at Memorial Park on Lake Ripley in Litchfield. Gates will open at 4 p.m., and then the music will begin at 5 p.m. – with Michael Shynes, South 40, and the Fabulous Armadillos.

Sarah Jones says they accept freewill donations for the event and the money raised goes back into the community to support various youth-related organizations. She says Memorial Park provides such a beautiful backdrop for the event.

Jones says there is good parking at Memorial Park and the splash pad and playground give children a place to occupy themselves. She says you should come hungry to the Songs of Summer Festival as there will be several food vendors.

Amanda Nelson says the Knights of Columbus will have their burger stand, the Boy Scouts will sell fudge, the Meeker County 4H Horse Club will sell crepes and lemonade, the wrestling club will sell hot dogs and brats, LAMP will sell dirty sodas, Prospects will sell macaroni & cheese bowls with either pulled pork or shrimp and there will be a couple of other food trucks too. She says it’s a secure area for children as it’s all fenced in.

Nelson says they were able to provides funds to 3 organizations last year – St. Philip’s School, the 4H Horse Club and LAMP. She says they have lots of great sponsors who help to make the Songs of Summer Festival possible. Raffle tickets for $20 each and t-shirts are available at Mid Country Bank in Litchfield.
