			Two dinners planned for 2014 Fall Festival
 
 A walleye dinner will be served on Sunday afternoon, August 31, from 
			4 to 7 p.m. This Walleye dinner is being served and sponsored by the 
			Common Ground.
 
 A chicken dinner will be served at the festival on Saturday 
			afternoon, August 30, from 4 to 7 p.m. The chicken dinner is being 
			served and sponsored by the Olde Towne Bar & Grill. Each of these 
			dinners will be served with two sides.
 
 The regular food stand line will be open, with the usual menu 
			available, for those not wanting the full dinner. If you are 
			interested in helping serve one or both of these dinners, please 
			contact Janet Zimmer at 244-8892.
 Fireworks 
 An elaborate display of fireworks will once again be presented at 
			the 2014 Delavan Fall Festival. The Delavan Fall Festival has 
			contracted with Central States Fireworks. Fireworks will be held in 
			Lake Park at dusk on SUNDAY night, August 31. At the request of 
			festivalgoers, a couple of years ago, the festival board made this 
			change of day for the fireworks. The change in schedule was well 
			received so the 2014 fireworks display will remain on SUNDAY night.
 
 Grab your blanket and/or lawn chair and come join the excitement of 
			all the colorful fireworks display. See you there.

			 Donations & sponsorships being accepted
 The Delavan Fall Festival board wants you to know donations and 
				sponsorships are now being accepted to support the annual Fall 
				Festival. The annual festival operates on a budget of 
				approximately $30,000. Donations from many individuals, 
				businesses and organizations are what make the festival 
				possible. In celebration and recognition of the wonderful 
				community in which we live, the festival board this year has 
				chosen “Celebrate Small Town America” as their theme. Come help 
				us celebrate.
 
 If you want your donation ear-marked to a particular event, you 
				may designate in the memo part of your check. If you give us no 
				designation, it will go toward the general operations fund for 
				the festival.
 
 The annual fall festival is successful each year because of the 
				continued support of businesses and individuals in the 
				community.
 
 Donations and sponsorships may be mailed to: Delavan Fall 
				Festival, P.O. Box 473, Delavan, IL 61734.
