Seventh Annual Peace and Music Festival
The Hillsdale County Coalition for Peace and Justice is hosting its
Seventh Annual Peace and Music Festival starting at Noon on Saturday,
August 11 in Carl Fast Park on US 12 in Jonesville, Michigan. There will
be musical entertainment throughout the day, most of it in various folk
genres, along with tables staffed by members of many socially active
organizations, clowns, balloon sculptures, face painting and other fun
activities. Saucy Dog’s BBQ will be on hand with their delicious fare,
and the Coalition will be selling beverages. We also have some Udder
Bucks from The Udder Side ice cream shop to give out.
This year’s featured display will be “A Walk in Their Shoes”
commemorating and symbolizing the civilian casualties in Iraq. We will
have supporting documentation available, as well as our Peace Chain
with links for every American military death and other materials.
A new event for this year’s Festival will be the showing of a wide variety
of politically-oriented films throughout the afternoon in the Wright Street
Gymnasium, directly across the street from the Park. This year’s Afterglow
will also be held in the Gym following the Festival.
For information about the event, or about setting up a booth, please contact Aimee England at (517)437-2228 to register or for further information. Or email volume1book@dmci.net with “Peace Fest” in the subject line. The space is free, but groups need to provide their own chairs and tables, and other material.
