Things are coming together!

The Lebanon Festival just wanted to reach out to the community and let you know that we are still busy planning and have a lot of fun things planned that we want you to be on the lookout for! 

What's happening on May 20th?

* As we have mentioned before, we have the band Hilton Park booked and we are excited to have them. They will be playing from 3-5 so plan to be there, bring a blanket or chairs to sit on and enjoy the great, family friendly music! 

* We have our 5K happening first thing in the morning. We have had runners register already but for those of you who have not registered yet, the link is here on our website and it's easy to do. Just click on the RaceWire link and follow the instructions! 

* The Lebanon Academy will be hosting a pancake breakfast at the Hanson School Gym. We are still finalizing the details and will let the public know the time as soon as we have it all figured out!

* Miss Acton Fair will kick off our Festival with the National Anthem!

* Steve Wanager will bring his cannon and fire it to begin the Festival as well as to end the Festival. He will have the cannon for children to look at as part of his Living History display!

* The Noble Middle School Jazz band will be playing at 9:15! They are a great band, you won't want to miss them play! 

* Did you know that the Celebration of Learning at the LES schools will be happening at the same time as the Lebanon Festival? This is exciting news and we have been so thankful for the support of the administration. 

What are we working on?

* A Car Show: We have a group interested and are waiting till they have their meeting to confirm they can be there on May 20! 

* Recruiting local talent! If you are looking for a way to showcase your individual or groups talent please reach out to us at lebanonfestival1@yahoo.com. We will have a stage for performers and would love to fit you in. 

*Are you a SAD 60 group looking to raise money for your organization? We are looking for groups who want to come and do bake sales, candy sales, product sales,etc. We would love to give you an opportunity to raise money for your sport or club so reach out to us and let's see what we can come up with!

*Getting more vendors! We have had some registrations come in already but we need more! Registration forms are available by emailing or stopping in the town office to pick one up!

* Reaching out to our community to get them involved! We want anyone who wants to participate to be given the opportunity to be here. We are a small group who not only volunteer to put on the Lebanon Festival but we work and we are raising families. It is not possible for us to personally visit everyone in the community. We will reach out to as many as we can. If you haven't heard from us but want to participate, contact us! 

What's coming up?

* The Lebanon Festival will be requesting to be put on the ballot to receive a $1500 subsidy. The town of Lebanon has been so generous in its support of the Festival by allowing the subsidy to pass both times it's been on the ballot. We are asking for the same support this year so we can continue to bring a Festival to the community that brings us all together and gets better each year! The subsidy money is used to pay for entertainment, purchase tents and staging, purchase signs and fliers to advertise our event, and the materials needed to rope off vendor spots, etc. 

* The Historical Society's 250th Anniversary event in July! They are busy planning a great weekend for the town of Lebanon so we hope you are setting aside time on your calendar to participate in their events! They are also requesting to receive a subsidy of $1500 and the Lebanon Festival hopes you all will show them the same support and generosity you have shown us by allowing it to pass. It is costly to put on events for the town and $1500 goes a long way to allow volunteers like us put on events for the community! 

We welcome questions and comments! You can reach out to us on our Facebook page, our website or by emailing us at lebanonfestival1@yahoo.com. Share this event with your friends and families!
