Harvest Festival 2011

The Citizen-Herald would like to report the following:
The 1st Annual Stockbridge Harvest Festival will be taking place October 7, 8, & 9.
A schedule of events is available at the Village web site: http://www.vil.stockbridge.mi.us/
Also available at the web site are Vendor Registration Forms and a map of available sites. And for a charge of ZERO DOLLARS for anyone living in the Stockbridge School District, we think it's a steal. How much do vendor spaces cost for those outside the district? A WHOPPING $10.00 for the entire 3 days.
On the aforementioned web site you will also find registration forms for camping. Yep, you read that right. Camping. In Stockbridge. In the Village. And also at the bargain basement price of $25.00 for the entire weekend. You are also encouraged to ride in on the Lakelands Trail. Horses not only allowed but encouraged! (Or bike in. Or hike in. Aw, hell, just show up.)
According to the schedule there will be plenty to do this particular weekend in the Village.
You can take your honey to the Dollar Dance Saturday night, the Car Show on Sunday afternoon, the Beer Tent on Friday at the Back Street, the Gold Wing Road Riders show on Saturday afternoon with a light show that night provided by same, or the whole dang family to the free movie at Veterans Memorial Park Sunday at dark. There's an Antique Tractor Show all weekend and a Cemetery Tour Sunday starting at 3 for those of you that enjoy a bit of history. If you happen to be camping and enjoy having the pants scared clean off of you, there will be a shuttle service (a hayride) to take you to the Bone Yard (and bring you back, if you can find your way out of the corn maze).
There really is something for everyone.
We therefore encourage you, dear reader, to tell all your friends, acquaintances and in-laws about the Harvest Festival.
We look forward to seeing old and new faces, greeting old friends and making new ones.
We are definitely excited.
Definitely.
