Festival to become reality

Tuesday, September 16, 2003

What started as an exploratory meeting in February of 2003 by the Preservation Association, Kiwanis, Historical Society, and other interested groups and citizens has become a Popcorn Festival. The festival honors Clay County's own, Orville Redenbacher, whose name is only second to Colonel Sanders when it comes to entrepreneurs of food. Seven months later, it's a reality and the event list is full of activities that will please about anyone who likes to attend fall festivals. After many donations from local businesses and a large contribution by ConAgra Foods (Redenbacher brand), President Evelyn Brown was pleased that this Festival will go as planned and become an annual event for this county. She states that "our goal is to promote our community, our non-profit organizations, businesses, and wonderful citizens that make this county great and to boost the economy."
