Local bands and the Scottish Flair Fes-
tival carne together to make the Goderich
Kinsmen's Sumtnerfest a huge success:
Elli. Cohen, Chairman of the Goderich
Kinsmen's Summerfest, said that the week-
end went extremely well.
"We had maximum capacity on Friday
night; 1300 people from 11 p.m. on, and
the colder wet weather didn't detract much
on Saturday night, with over 1,000 people
from 11 p.m.. on," Cohen said.
The annual event benefitted this year from
The Scottish Flair ceremony, a presentation
of local celtic pipe bands being held right
beside the Summerfest tent on The Square
in Goderich.
"Scottish flair brought a pretty broad
crowd that enjoyed themselves," Cohen
said. "We're going to work with them for
sure next year. We were really pleased with
the family event, and supporting all the dif-
ferent pipe bands around Huron County."
The event, which ran from Thursday night
to Saturday night, featured fun for the whole
family, with children's rides and games, a
poker rally held by the Canadian Motor-
cycle Cruisers, and Goodfellas DJ service
filling in the time between performances by
The Full Nelsons on Friday night, and Tasty
Jams on Saturday night.
"The weekend did very well, we sold out
of all of our coolers, and we sold a lot of
beer," Cohen explained.
Cohen explained that the event was a
success on all fronts. It was a safe weekend
with no significant injuries, and no fights,
and they had more than enough volunteers.
to get everything done.
The event is part of the national Kinsman
and Kinnetes clubs' efforts to raise money
for Cystic Fibrosis research.
