Community members in Swanton held an early birthday party for the Park Pavilion last week. The event was held in the Memorial Park at the Pavilion, on Friday, June 14th at 6:00 p.m.
According to Stephanie Fessenden and Pat Pilliod, generous sponsors helped to get the event going.
A group of individuals from the Corn Fest, Chamber of Commerce, Historical Society, and Friends of the Library also teamed up to make the day possible.
The idea for the event came during a meeting for Corn Fest. Parties used to be held in the park and, with the 100th anniversary of the pavilion coming up, it was decided an event should be planned to help people understand the park and its 100-year history. So, Fessenden ran with the idea and was able to bring everything together.
The event featured three food vendors (Dog Waggin, PizzAroma, and The Rolling Lemon), as well as a beer tent, a juggler, kickball games and live music performed by JP and the Big Deal. NWO Beverage, Benfield Wine, and Oncore Brewing were featured in the designated beer area.
Fessenden wished to thank everyone who showed up that night to show their support. She would also like everyone to know that the Corn Fest will be held on August 9th and 10th.
BEER … Visitors for the Swanton Pavilion Park Party take part in the designated beer area at the park.
