From dunk tanks to crafts, live music to casino night, Montesano's
Festival of People will have something for everyone this year.
After a seven-year hiatus, the Festival returns for the second
year in a row July 26-27, 2002, offering several activities and
events for all ages.
"It's primarily for the community," Carol Smith of
the Montesano Chamber of Commerce said. "It's a celebration
intended to get the community together."
Much of the activities will again take place in or around Fleet
Park, including the dunk tank, farmer's market and arts and crafts.
Throughout town, visitors can also watch and participate in softball,
volleyball and cribbage tournaments, as well as a chili cook-off
or watch the parade down Main Street.
Sponsored by the Montesano Community Center and Montesano Visitor
Information Center, the Festival will offer lots of good food
and fun for participants.
"For anyone from out of town, with relatives here, it's
an opportunity to get together and see who they haven't seen
in a long time," Smith said.
