River Fest

Schedule

of Events

Over the past fi ve years, the Huron River Fest Committee has paid local groups, civic, school, and church organizations about $25,325 com-bined for assistance with the annual festival weekend. Groups and organizations have

earned money from River Fest Inc. by working different areas of the festival. This year’s event is being held this weekend, July 9-11.

The River Fest Committee reaches out to dif-ferent groups and organizations to assist with installing fencing, removing trash and man-ning ticket booths. The following groups or organizations are a random sampling that has made a profi t over the years from working the

festival: HHS Student Council; Girl Scouts; HHS National Honor Society; Huron Parks

and Recreation; Huron Band; Huron Chamber of Commerce; First Presbyterian Church; and members of the Huron Swim Team.

This past year, the Huron Boat Basin received a donation of a new vinyl cover for the canopy over the stage at the amphitheater from the committee. “This donation was made to the Boat Basin facility as a way of saying ‘Thank You’ for the endless hours they donate to the festival weekend every year,” said Sue Fawcett, president of the Huron River Fest Committee. The metal structure and original cover for the canopy was purchased about 10 years ago by the Lion’s Club. The new cover has both the Lion’s Club logo and the new River Fest logo on it as a symbol of community.

The $25,325 community payback does not refl ect the income made by other local busi-nesses and organizations during the festival weekend, such as charging for use of private parking lots, selling rotators, beer or other food items, or duck races and other planned activi-ties that take place in conjunction with the re-union weekend.

Fortunately for the River Fest Organization and the Huron Community, several sponsors of the festival weekend are sponsors in-trade. The sponsors in-trade frequently includes the radio stations, the newspapers and other ser-vice organizations. These groups make such a great commitment to the River Fest weekend that without these loyal sponsors in-trade as-sisting organization, the costs would be much greater for the weekend and there would be much less to pay the local groups and organi-zations that work during the weekend.

“The opportunity to give back to the com-munity would not be as great if it were not for our sponsors in-trade,” Fawcett said.

The River Fest Committee is run by volunteers, therefore, all of the proceeds of the weekend are returned to the community in one way or an-other. Anyone interested in volunteering on this committee, or who has a group or organization looking to make a little extra money this sum-mer, should go to www.huronriverfest.com.

Huron Lions Club Announces Parade

Grand Marshals

The Huron Lions Club is pleased to an-nounce its 2010 Grand Marshals for this year’s Riverfest Parade. The Lions Club has given the title of Grand Marshals to RIchard and June Klein. Richard and June Klein have been won-derful members and assets to the community of Huron for many years. Richard, an alumni of Huron High School and The Ohio State University, has been an active participant in the Huron CIty School System. Mr. Klein was an assistant principal at the high school, ath-letic director for the school system, as well as a

record-setting basketball coach. Mr. and Mrs. Klein are both avid fans of The Ohio State University Buckeyes, as well as both being very

well-versed world travelers. Mr. Klein is also a World War Two Veteran, while his wife is re-cently retired after forty-fi ve years of teaching in the Huron community. Both Mr. and Mrs. Klein enjoy their travels, have been to a great majority of the world’s grand locations and countries; with one of their most recent trips being to Patagonia. June spent her time teach-ing a good number of Huron’s youth at Wee People, a preschool where many of Huron’s children and communiy members have attend-ed. June and Richard are very proud of their grandchildren and enjoy spending time with them as often as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Klein still enjoy servicing the community of Huron, and doing whatever they can do to continue to give back to the city of Huron. The Huron Li-ons Club is very pleased to have Mr. and Mrs. Klein as this year’s 2010 Riverfest Parade Grand Marshals, especially since the two of them have been longstanding pillars of a great sense of community in Huron. The Huron Lions Club would love to see everyone in the community come out on Saturday July 10 to congratulate Mr. RIchard and Mrs. June Klein in being this year’s Grand Marshals of the parade. The pa-rade starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday July 10 and the Huron Lions Club looks forward to seeing everyone there!

Huron River FestGets New LookThe Huron River Fest Committee has launched a new marketing plan for the 2010 festival. A new logo has been designed, and a Web site has been added for the convenience of the sponsors, vendors, visitors and the Huron com-munity. On the Web site’s homepage there is a complete list of the 2010 Schedule of Events including this year’s entertainment line-up and the 2010 River Fest sponsors. This year’s event is being held July 9-11.Also, new this year are the Sponsorship Levels. A Gold sponsor, for $250, includes a logo on the poster, a link on the Web site and inclusion in River Fest sponsorship radio advertising dur-ing the festival weekend. A Silver sponsor, for $100, includes a listing on the poster, a listing on the Web site and inclusion in the radio advertising during the festival weekend. Log on to www.huronriverfest.com for more infor-mation.Also, the Huron River Fest Committee is help-ing to advertise class reunions this year for those planning one. The coordinator’s contact information will be listed on the Web site for $25. Log on to www.huronriverfest.com and contact anyone of the committee members for more information.

Queen Organizer NeededThe 2011 celebration will mark the 20th An-

niversary of what is known today as the Huron River Fest. In honor of the celebration, the Hu-ron River Fest Committee thought it would be appropriate to bring back the Queen. In order to adequately do so, the committee is in need of an energetic, organized individual who truly agrees there should be a River Fest Queen T, to run this aspect of the festival with the sup-port of the HRF committee. For more informa-tion, contact any of the committee members or interested individuals can log onto www.huronriverfest.com

On Saturday, July 10, the annual NOMS Huron Tiger 5K and Company Cup will take place at 8 a.m. This year, the proceeds will be donated to the Todd Marshall Fire-land’s College Scholarship. Marshall, who taught at Firelands College, passed away this spring. His family members were avid runners at Huron High School.

Race registration will begin at 7 a.m. on Main Street near the boat basin. Local res-ident Mike Danilo will again be the starter for the race. After the 5K run will be a 1K run for all ages.

Awards will be given out to the top male and female winner and to the top three male and female runners in each of the following divisions: 11 and under; 12-14; 15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 40-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65 and over. Ribbons will be given to all fun-runners,

and the annual Mike Soloman award will also be presented.

Again this year there will be a Company Cup awarded to the company with two males and two female runners that score the lowest total time fi nish. A picture tro-phy will be awarded to the top company and medals to each member. Runners in the Company Cup are still eligible for in-dividual awards. To register for the Com-pany cup, the individuals must be actively employed, working a minimum of 25 hours a week for at least three months prior to the race, and be at least 19 years old. Companies must supply a team roster that includes the telephone number of the employee personnel department for veri-fi cation.

After the race, runners can stay and watch the Riverfest Parade.

NOMS Holds Annual

5K Race This Weekend

The Huron Chamber of Commerce’s commemorative Christmas ornaments have become an integral part of local holiday traditions. With the fi rst ornament depict-ing the Huron Lighthouse in 1990, these ornaments have chronicled local landmarks for two decades. All of Huron’s churches have been spotlighted, as well as city buildings and the famous Pied Piper ice cream stand.

This year’s ornament features a full-color illustration of Kalahari Field at Huron Memorial Stadium, created by well-known area artist Bob Hilty.

The Chamber has teamed up with the Huron Boosters to sell the ornaments as a club fund-raiser. They will be avail-able at the Booster’s concession stand during this week-end’s River Fest. They are also available at the Chamber offi ce, 509 Huron St.

At 10 a.m. July 16, college and university representatives, members of the James H. McBride Arboretum Board, and Erie MetroParks offi cials will host a groundbreaking cer-emony for a new entrance, parking area and accessible re-stroom, specifi cally designed for visitors of all ages to the McBride Arboretum. The new facilities will be located on the property adjacent to BGSU Firelands’ Boos Road en-trance, and the ceremony is free and open to the public.

Dr. William K. Balzer, dean of BGSU Firelands, will join Chris Redfern, former state representative for the 80th District; Thomas O. Rob-erts, arboretum board pres-ident, and Stephen Dice, executive director for Erie MetroParks; in turning over the fi rst shovels of soil for the project.

More convenient public access and restroom facili-ties were identifi ed priori-ties in the strategic plan for

the McBride Arboretum that was approved by its board members in 2006. At the request of Redfern, funding for these critical enhancements to the McBride Arboretum was inserted in the 2007 capital budget approved by Gov. Ted Strickland. The project is designed to complement the current grounds and facilities at the arboretum and pro-vide greater accessibility to all visitors.

“These new facilities will draw more community mem-bers to this wonderful Arboretum. They will provide bet-ter accessibility to the beautiful trails and increased com-fort for patrons of all ages. We are delighted that another successful college-community partnership brought about such wonderful results,” Balzer said.

Named after the fi rst dean of BGSU Firelands, the James H. McBride Arboretum, founded in 1984, covers more than 50 acres of the Firelands campus and includes an out-standing crab-apple collection, the William J. Parker Lake, the Deering Family Terrace, a woodland trail, a butterfl y garden, and many other beautiful sites.

For more information about the groundbreaking, con-tact Erie MetroParks at 419-625-7783.

BY REV. J.ROGER SKELLEY-WATTS, PASTOR, HURON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

The wonderfully nurturing aspect of growing spiritually in the soil of a garden such as Huron UMC is that we’re sur-rounded by folks also growing their own spiri-tual fruit.

So we can be encouraged by those on the same journey – some just starting, some walking alongside, some far, far ahead with ex-perience to share. We can be students, peers and teachers, too.

At the annual conference a couple weeks ago, our congregation was hon-ored in several ways for your spiritual fruit, unexpectedly. On break from grueling business on one hot summer day, I was focused upon a most impor-tant mission — I believe it was a but-ter pecan ice cream mission that was calling me, as I recall — when a famil-iar voice beaconed to me. I turned to fi nd a friendly face that I vaguely rec-ognized, but couldn’t come up with a name. Ever had that problem out of context?

It was the company representa-tive for Olan Mills photo directories. “Come here! I wanta show you some-thing!” She dragged me through the crowd to the vendors’ display, where she had her wares showcased. “Look there!” She pointed to the middle of the table and there was a copy of our photo directory. “Of all of the ones I did last year, yours was the best — I just had to show it off!” she gushed.

As I beamed with pride for all of you, I thought: “Anybody who knew the inside scoop knew that book took the spiritual fruit of patience with a capital “P.”

Prior to the conference, I received a postcard for an “invitation only” lunch for those churches who had received a profession of faith during the previous year – churches that had been true to our mission of “Making and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world;” that is, the spiritual fruit of faithful-ness so that new Christians could be born and born again.

Then, without warning, I was trying to stay awake after lunch on a warm afternoon, sitting with 2,000 of my closest friends in Hoover Auditorium, trying to listen to another report when I sat up straight! Rev. Paul White, our director of Connectional Min-istries was listing accomplishments and noted: “Of all of our 800 UM churches of East Ohio, the one which rose above all the rest was the Huron UMC, which gave over $3,000 to our relief efforts following the Haiti earth-quake, more money per member that anyone!” (117 percent mission asking already.)

How about that? The spiritual fruit of generosity, which I’ve experienced here now into our ninth year together more times and in more ways that I can count.

And of course, last Sunday morning we recognized the many staff and vol-unteers who offer our LOGOS Minis-try for children and youth among our membership and the Huron commu-nity outside. I don’t remember the ex-act year, but LOGOS must be close to celebrating its 30th season pretty soon.

And this is the tip of the iceberg: I feel so privileged to serve among you – not for ourselves or any kind of pride, or self-congratulations, but for Jesus Christ and the joy of being a part of what the Holy Spirit is doing in our midst.

Quoting St. Paul to Galatians: “For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand fi rm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery…

“For you were called to freedom, brother and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love be-come slaves to one another.

“For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself…’

“If we live by the spirit, let us also be guided by the spirit.”

Amen.

Zion Lutheran Church is having a Fel-lowship Campfi re Picnic in the Chris-tian Center Picnic Pavilion from 3 to 6 p.m., Sunday, July 18. All ages are wel-come. There will be music, games, food

and fellowship. Hot dogs and beverages will be provided, however, attendees are asked to bring a dish to share. The event is sponsored by the Evangelism and Fellowship committees.

ScheduleThe Huron United Methodist Church schedule has begun and will continue through August 29. The 8 a.m. service has moved to the Fellowship Hall for a more informal worship experience with refreshments. The Praise Band will play and words will be projected. Summer Sunday School will be offered at 8. The 10 a.m. Worship will also be less formal, with special music. Come and bring a friend, neighbor or family member. Cherub Chat and nursery will be offered at both services. What a great way to start your day to Cedar Point, boating or fi shing – blessed by God.

Archie Davis, roadshow toy expert spoke about some of the top toys getting great offers. “Old tin windup toys from the late 1800’s through the 1960’s are in great demand now.” said Davis, “Especially those that are character related.

he was quick to answer “Old coins and paper currency. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents grocery store looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300.00.
