Swartz Creek Hometown Days Directors and Committee Members:
The Swartz Creek Hometown Days
(SCHTD) is a celebration of com-
munity.
It truly takes thousands of man
hours to organize and host this fes-
tival. Plus thousands of dollars in
generous donations from local busi-
nesses and individuals are used to
make it happen. The time, energy
and money is well invested as you
will see as the entire community
comes together to play.
The Carnival will be set up and
ready for fun on Thursday, May 30th.
The SCHTD committee is hosting a
kickoff dinner where the King and
Queen of Hometown Days will be
crowned. Right after the dinner you
can head over to the Entertainment
Tent to watch the Bubba’s Got Talent
Finals.
Our two main attractions this
year are The Nerveless Nocks Ball
of Death Motorcycle Stunt Show
and Sway Pole Act sponsored by Fi-
nancial Plus and the Extreme Live
Shark Encounter sponsored by Patsy
Lou Automotive Group. These acts
will be performing Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
The Entertainment tent this year
will host Green Bottle Fly, Last
Summer & Crush. Then enjoy the
music of Waking Vegas and Almost
Unplugged and several local youth
bands to perform in the Meijer Com-
munity Tent.
There are a great number of FREE
things to do and see during the fes-
tival. Even the Carnival rides will
be FREE on Friday morning from
Where Everyone Feels At Home!
A big thank you to the many committee members, volunteers andsponsors that come together every year from the Swartz Creek Hometown Days Committee!

perishable food donations which will

tions are also accepted at the gate.

The 2013 Swartz Creek Hometown
Days event is expected to bring in
40,000 people this year. Ranked as
the #1 Festival in Genesee County,
you might wonder how things run so
smoothly. It’s a balancing act to say
the least.
According to Mark Kietzman,
Director of Grounds and Mainte-
nance, “It’s like a barn raising, every-
one pitches in to help” he said. “Mem-
bers of the community and nearly
1,000 volunteers make this all hap-
pen.” Mark truly believes it’s all about
paying it forward. “No one gets paid
for what we do, but once you see the
smiles on the kids’ faces, you realize
it’s all worth it”.
For the past 10 years, Mark has de-
voted three weeks of his life to Home-
town Days. He and his wife, Susie,
Hometown Days Volunteer Direc-
tor, close their business, Insulmaster
Home Improvement, Remodeling &
Restoration of Swartz Creek.
Mark and the team of volunteers
practically build a city within a city.
From the water supply to the electri-
cal supply, generators, signage, tents
and hundreds of other details, Mark
makes sure everything is up and run-
ning for the festival.
Mark relies on the services from
the Swartz Creek Police Department
when needed as well as the Mundy
Township Senior Recruiters who vol-
unteer their time for the security at
the gates and grounds. DPW Direc-
tor, Tom Svrcek, is on-call and avail-
able during the event and after-hours
as well.
The Junior Volunteers, a group of
Middle School and High Schools stu-
dents, donate their time and also help
the commercial vendors during the
event. Local businesses donate food
for the volunteers including Sam’s,
Kroger’s and other area restaurants.
John and Daneen Fick from Fick’s
Excavating provide equipment to
keep things moving during the fes-
tival and Wheeler Party Rental from
New Lothrop provides extra staff-
ing for the 14,000-plus square feet of
tents. Mike and Wanda Cummings
from M.R. Maintenance help with set
up, clean up, and provide equipment
to keep the grounds clean.
The community truly comes togeth-
er for this festival!
If you would like to volunteer time,
resources or make donations for
Hometown Days events, contact Mark
at (810) 635-4444 or visit the Home-
town Days website at www.hometown-
days.org and look for the “Contact

This year’s Grand Marshals are two
long-time community supporters,
John “Jack” and Judy Fick.
The Fick’s have always been com-
munity and service oriented. They
were selected by the Swartz Creek
Hometown Day’s Committee for this
year’s honor. “Jack and Judy Fick rep-
resent good local people” said Wanda
Cummings, Parade Director.
Jack and Judy started Fick Excavat-
ing in 1968. Judy was a cooking teach-
er and did catering before she joined
the family business full-time. Togeth-
er they raised 5 children: Daneen
Fick, Janet Jennings, John Fick, Tim
Fick and Andrea Bonk. They are
proud grandparents to 10 grandchil-
dren and 3 great grandchildren.
Jack was the Clayton Township
Supervisor from 1976 to 1980 and
went on to serve as a Trustee for five
more years. He was a member of the
Fire Board that served Swartz Creek,
Gaines and Clayton Township Fire
Departments and was a founding
member of the County Line Antique
Tractor Club, a club that both he and
Judy are actively involved in on a reg-
ular basis. The antique club will have
over 25 antique tractors in this year’s
parade.
Jack and Judy spent many years as
members of the Jaycee’s, a local ser-
vice organization. Judy was the past
President of the Community PTA and
a board member of the group that
founded the Community Education
Program in Swartz Creek.
Judy coached girls’ softball teams
for years. She and Jack have been
supporters and sponsors of local ball
teams over the years. That same giv-
ing spirit has been coupled with their
involvement in their church, where
they are active and also coordinate
the funeral dinners, something that
comes very easy to Judy with her love
of cooking and catering.
When asked what it means to them
to be selected as the Grand Marshals,
Judy stated “It’s a humbling honor
to be chosen.” Jack on the other
hand laughed and said “It means that
I won’t be driving my tractor in the
parade this year”, something he has
done for many years.
The Ficks’ are looking forward to
their upcoming role as Grand Mar-
shals at this year’s Hometown Days
Parade. Be sure to wave and say hello
when you see them at the parade.

Waking Vegas has been entertain-
ing audiences all over Michigan,
gaining momentum and fans with
their blend of positive rock music and
captivating stage show. Their combi-
nation of crunching guitars and ener-
getic vocals has made them a favorite
at bars, festivals, events and now, they
will rock the Creek on Saturday from
3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Featuring a repertoire of exciting
original songs, they also perform a
selection of well known classic and
modern covers with their own twist,
making Waking Vegas fun for the
whole family.
Members come from a variety of
musical backgrounds. Budd Birdsall,
who founded of the group in 2009,
has played in several bands over the
years. His desire in starting Waking
Vegas was to bring together an en-
semble of people who loved to play
music and wanted to have fun doing
it. What resulted was the current line-
up consisting of Birdsall, Enosh Fee,
Aaron Kuykendall, and Lesley Howe.
Enosh Fee has spent years record-
ing, touring, and writing music of his
own. In addition to playing with two
other successful bands, Enosh also
played guitar for John Schlitt, multi-
Grammy award winning lead singer
of the legendary Christian rock group
Petra.
Drummer Aaron Kuykendall, a
graduate of Kettering University, sup-
plies the beat that drives every song.
A native of Ohio, who played in a cou-
ple of local rock bands before moving
Local Christian Rock Band, Waking Vegas,set to appear at Hometown Days
in the Meijer Community Tentto the mitten, is affectionately known
to his fans as “Animal.”
Lesley Howe completed the band
when she joined in late 2011. Her
smooth yet edgy vocals are the per-
fect fit to the group’s brand of Rock
& Roll. Having entertained crowds
as Radio Disney’s “Miss Firecracker”,
Lesley has also won various singing
competitions and has many credits to
her name as a solo artist.
Waking Vegas is currently record-
ing a new album for a mid-summer re-
lease and with a busy event schedule,
strives to maintain their “full time
work having so much fun”.

YOU CAN TRUST
Almost Unplugged, a 5-piece rock
band with a wide range of vocals,
will be rocking the crowd this year at
Hometown Days. The group includes
a 12-string, bass, drums, guitar and
keyboard. There’s even an occasion-
al mandolin thrown in by the guitar
player if he feels like changing it up
a bit.
You’re going to love the songs they
play that make you want to get up and
dance, laugh, have fun, maybe sing
along a little, and ultimately get into
the music!
The group has a wide range of influ-
ences including U2, INXS, Tom Petty,
Sheryl Crow, The Wallflowers, Elvis
Costello, The Fixx, The Pretenders
and more. You’ll enjoy their unique
and eclectic list of classic songs that
fans have really come to appreciate.
They’ll even mix in some recent in-
fluences such as Phillip Phillips, Muse
and Awolnation, songs that everyone
can enjoy.
Members of this group are Jim
ALMOST UNPLUGGED PERFORMSSATURDAY AT HOMETOWN DAYS
Hamady, Greg Wilson and Adam
Coolich, all from Flushing. Chris Ka-
zor and Karen Kazor are from Bur-
ton.
And why are they called Almost Un-
plugged? It all started when Greg and
Jim were jamming and Greg tripped
on his guitar chord (a surprisingly
common occurrence). “Jim, we were
just almost unplugged!” stated Greg.
So the name just kind of stuck.
This is a band that’s all about fun!
Join us and be part of the fun!

Arnold Amusements
S wartz Creek Hometown DaysA Big Thank You To Our Sponsors!
For almost 20 years, Arnold Amuse-
ments has been providing the thrill
and excitement at Swartz Creek
Hometown Days.
So what can you expect new this
year? For the very first time, Arnold
Amusement will introduce their all
new funnel cake product station. It
should be easy to follow your nose to
find this new carnival feature!
Making its re-themed debut at this
year’s Hometown Days, the Star Ship
3000 will be revealed for the first
time. This UFO themed ride will take
you spinning as the G-forces move
you up the wall.
Owned and operated by Ivan and
Agnes Arnold of Traverse City, Ar-
nold Amusements history goes back
to Ivan’s childhood.
Starting at nine years old, Ivan
worked every summer blowing up bal-
loons for a dart game at an area festi-
val. As soon as he was old enough, he
traveled on the road with that carni-
val. Soon he started buying his own
carnival rides to take to those events
and a few years later, Arnold Amuse-
ment was established in 1981.
Arnold Amusements is based out
of Traverse City, Michigan for ten
months each year. The Arnold’s chil-
dren are all active and not only work
in the business but also travel to every
show.
Sons Tom Arnold and John Ar-
nold are the Head of Operations.
Daughter-in-law Karen Arnold is the
Head of the Office and Food Opera-
tions. Karen is assisted by longtime
and like-family employee; Joey Even.
Grandson Alex coordinates and over-
sees the transportation of all equip-
ment and rides. Granddaughter Jil-
lian assists with food operations.
The Arnold family takes two
months during the off-season to re-
treat to their homes in Florida. Their
ARNOLD AMUSEMENTS
homes are all next door to each other,
all in a row. Ivan and Agnes will soon
be celebrating their 55th wedding
anniversary with their family. In the
past, their family has arranged for
special anniversary
dinners on the rides themselves.
True to their love of the amusement
business.
What makes Arnold Amusement
so special? According to Joey Even
“The Arnold’s truly have a family
owned and operated business. We are
together all the time, whether it’s on
the road, off the road, from Michigan
to Florida”. It’s all they’ve ever known
and they do it well.

Swartz Creek Hometown Days Hits High Gear With
Annual Car ShowYou won’t want to miss the 9th An-
nual 2013 Swartz Creek Hometown
Days Car Show on Saturday, June 1st.
This year’s event is brought to you by
Woods Collision. Larry Woods, owner
of Woods Collision in Swartz Creek,
is once again this year’s sponsor for
all of the Awards as well as the Dash
Plaques. The show will be held on the
grass along the east-west portion of
Fortino Drive.
Bring the entire family and enjoy
great food and music while you’re
there. Alexander J’s Restaurant will
be on the car show grounds, with a
variety of their great food to choose
from. Just like last year, you will de-
light in the aroma and tastes of their
great food selections. You’ll also en-
joy some great music as you stroll
throughout the car show. DJ Lane
O’Neill will once again be playing the
Oldies for us.
There is NO fee for Entrants or
Spectators. Free Registration will
be done on the day of the show,
with Dash Plaques given to the first
150 cars registered. Voting ends at
4:00 p.m. with awards handed out
at 4:45 p.m., including Best of Show,
Participant’s Pick and Chairman’s
Choice. We will again be giving
awards to the Best of Each Decade for
registered cars through the 1990’s.
As always, the spectators and kids
can vote with awards given out for
Spectators Choice and Kids Choice.
This is a bit hit, as last year we saw a
huge increase in their voting.
Join us to see the kids’ faces light
up when they see these great looking
cars!
To get to the Show: From I-69 take
the Morrish Road exit # 128. Then
go south on Morrish Road to For-
tino Drive. Entrance to the grass is
just around the corner from Fortino
Drive. The grounds are east of the
Post Office and east of the Fire Hall.

ater and circus where it has appeared,

the crowds year after year.
Featuring a hand-over-hand climb to

free-fall back to the ground.
This
giant 17-foot steel globe has one to
three motorcycle stunt riders race at
high speeds while narrowly missing
each other as they race upside down.
A spectacular daredevil show you
won’t want to miss!

el of entertainment to the people of

A SilentAuction
With A Bang!
This year’s Silent Auction is proving to be a super event
with some really great deals! Many unique items will be
on display and are donated by local businesses.
If you see something you like, put a bid on it. Many
items sell for a fraction of what they are worth.
Don’t miss out! The Auction will be held in the Expo
Tent which is brought to you by the Swartz Creek Cham-
ber of Commerce. Auction Numbers are available at the
Swartz Creek Chamber Booth.
Join the fun! The Auction will be open beginning
Friday, May 31st at 4:00 pm and continue through Sun-
day, June 2nd at 2:00 pm.
100% of the funds that are raised go toward next year’s
Hometown Days Children’s Events.
Come on down and have some fun!
Ask Susie Kietzman what it takes to make a successful event and she will tell you how volunteers are the heart of the
festival. It’s a family affair, according to Susie, Hometown Days Volunteer Director. Susie oversees the volunteers at the
festival and ensures that every committee director has enough people to help with many activities, including setting
up and tearing down.
Susie’s team of volunteers include nearly all age ranges to help at the festival. From assisting seniors citizens with
their needs to helping children find misplaced parents, there’s no limit to what these folks are willing to do to help.
There are several husband and wife teams who help make
this a family affair. Assistant Volunteer Director, Chris
Treiger assists with the organization and planning for the
event while her husband Mike helps with the grounds and
maintenance. Laura and Maurice Poffenbarger and Tim
and Holly Walker can also be found helping with a wide
range of behind-the-scenes needs.
The directors and volunteers want to especially thank
the area businesses who provide food and beverages to
the volunteers, such as Chris & Marcia Passmore who own
and operate Tim Hortons in Corunna and Dewitt. Other
generous businesses who donate food include Subway,
Hank & Don’s and Donna’s Donuts.
