GRANTON GEARS UP FOR FALL FEST
Friday, July 15th, 2011 -- 1:51 PM
Plans for the 61st annual Granton Fall Festival are underway, with the event scheduled for September 9th to 11th this year. All nominations for both Honored Adult categories should be sent to Cheryl Steinbach, Granton High School,217 North Main Street, Granton, WI 54436. Please be sure to note which award category the nomination is for and they must be postmarked by August 3, 2011.
Nominations for the Honored Citizens of Granton, which is sponsored each year by the Granton Rotary Club, are to recognize outstanding community members. The Honored Citizen recipient may be an individual or a couple, who resided in the Granton area most of their life. Nomination letters highlighting what the candidates have done for the Granton area community should be submitted.
The Honored Grandparent winner is determined from essays submitted by youth on the topic of ?Why My Grandparents Are Special.? This year, the Granton FFA Alumni, which sponsors the award, has established that only 1 essay per grandparent nomination may be submitted and it should be limited to 500 words or less.
The winners of the Honored Citizen and Grandparent Awards will lead this year?s Fall Festival parade on Sunday, September 11, and they will also be recognized at the annual Queen coronation on Friday, Sept. 9 at 7 PM at the Granton fire station.
The annual Granton Fall Festival has become a huge annual event for the Granton community and many former residents. The committee is working hard to plan another fun-filled family weekend, with this year?s theme being ?Ole? Wild West.?
