This year's plate honors the 1965 state champion St. Joseph Ramblers football team. Attend the opening ceremony and auction and be the first to own one of these.

The Mayor's breakfast will be honoring 20 county students by awarding each of them a scholarship. Be there to see this record achievement. Details are on the Mayor's breakfast page. Deadline for reservations is August 7.


 
The following items will be offered for sale to the high bidder at the opening ceremony, after the first five serially numbered plates are auctioned. First, an oak wine rack, made by Larry Fontana of New Philadelphia, and second, a painting on canvas, done by Teresa Prince of New Philadelphia. The Foundation would like to thank these two artists for their contribution to the festival.

Michael Sonata began his performance on Saturday evening last year and then the storm rolled in. Being a great performer, Michael moved to Memorial Hall to hear the Dominic Greco Band and was asked to perform with the band. Singing "New York, New York", he was a big hit and drew a crowd for his second performance on the main stage after the Greco concert. Michael returns this year, Sunday at 5 P.M. on the main stage, for a 2 hour performance. If you want to hear "old blue eyes" be sure to see that show.
