Vanderbilt Pigeon River Festival
by Tom Serino
The Pigeon River Festival is held the 3rd weekend in August, it is growing every year, with new community members participating, and new events. We especially would like to thank Frank Jasinski for his help in providing all the games for the kids, and for putting on a great horseshoe tournament this year, complete with all its interesting aspects.

for Halloween
by Tom Serino
The Vanderbilt Pigeon River Committee met Sun Oct 8th, 2006, Gateway Restaurant. Attending were: Tim McMillion; Tony Jurewski; Sally Williams; Curt Boyd and Tom Serino
Upcoming fundraisers to pay for next years’ Pigeon River Festival were discussed including: a hayride with wagon for the children (of all ages) to ride on Friday Oct. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 28. The Hayride will go throught the Evergreen Hills cemetery. The hayride will start and end at the Pizza Plus, in the RK Mini Mall parking lot. There will be a costume contest for the kids. Judging will be Friday the 27th for 1 to 3 year olds and Sat for 4-6 year olds. Watch for times in OUR HOME TOWN Paper. Cost will be a $1.00 for the ride to go to next year’s festival, and 1 can food item for the food pantry.
We will meet at Pizza Plus Sun Oct 15th to finalize the hayride plans. We will need some ideas to do at the cemetery to make it scary.
Also, a fish and chips dinner during hunting season. And a Winterfest is in the plans for the 3rd weekend of Feb. There may possibly be a coloring book made up to advertise the Winterfest.
The next meeting of the PR Committee will be held at Pizza Plus next Sunday, Oct 15th Bring your ideas and a friend!
Other items discussed included wrapping up this years’ Pigeon River Festival as well as starting on non-profit (501C-3) paperwork that needs to get completed and filed.
