Let the Festivities Begin!
By: Scott

Preparations are well underway for the 2009 Mudcat Festival. Sponsored and planned by the Dunnville Chamber of Commerce, the festival runs from June 10-14. The Mudcat Festival Planning Committee has finalized the schedule of events, beginning with the Opening Ceremony and Fashion Show on Wednesday at 7:00 pm. Carolyn Chymko has been working hard as Festival Chair again this year to keep things running smoothly. She recently acquired a $33,000 grant from Celebrate Ontario that will help financially back the Festival, but local support is also needed. “This is still very much a community-driven event and we will once again need the financial help of our local sponsors and supporters,” said Chymko. A full schedule of events can be found on the Chamber’s website, www.dunnvillechamberofcommerce.ca as the exciting community-wide event approaches.
