Norfolk Community Day 2005

Norfolk Community Day 2005 will again be held at Holmes property on Myrtle Street on Saturday June 11th. Event planning is on schedule. Community Day has grown tremendously since its humble beginnings in 1992. This year, with additional sponsors and participants, the Lions are expecting to again break attendance records.

The events planned are long time favorites, such as pony rides, miniature train ride, expanded petting zoo, entertainment by the KP Jazz Ensemble, Denise' Dance Academy, Kathy Ryan Dance Studio and the ubiquitous Mike LaValle as the DJ. The Norfolk Fire Dept & Norfolk Recreation Dept will provide the children's favorite activity "foam fun" and the Norfolk Community League is holding their annual 5K Run.

New for 2005 are more crafters sharing their skills and crafts. Also, a special attraction, Bob Bloom- "Drumming About You", bringing hundreds of drums and percussion instruments to excite and involve the audience with music from around the world.

In our continuing efforts to increase safety and comfort for the families, the Lions will be providing transportation between the parking area and the event. We will be using the Fire Engine ride and the Hayride to provide this transportation. There is no cost for this service.

The Lions are still looking for sponsors and groups willing to participate in the day. Community Day is the one day that Norfolk and its neighboring towns get together to celebrate with their families in a country fair atmosphere. Dozens of local community groups and businesses participate to make the day truly a community event. We strive to provide family oriented entertainment at a reasonable cost. Please contact Norfolk Lion Barbara Snead at 508-520-9937 if you are interested in participating.
