Hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!! Grafton Blueline Club, North Stars Youth Hockey, and Grafton Parks & Rec are gearing up for the upcoming Fall Festival which will be held on Saturdays and Sundays starting Sept 7-Oct 13. We are hoping for a bigger and better event this year as the weather failed to cooperate last season.

If anyone is interested/able - there is a volunteer opportunity to pull the grain cart in the parade this weekend to advertise - contact people are listed at the end of this email. Also looking for businesses to sponsor the wagons - we will have sign made up with business logo if there is interest.

The corn maze and pumpkins have been planted. A few things that are needed (if anyone knows anyone who knows anyone) - snow fence to protect the pumpkins, and straw bales - please contact Bill Dahl at GP&R or Dave Hills. We have acquired 2 additional corn cannons so will have a total of 3 this year, and will do the grain cart wagon rides again (sponsored by GBLC & NSYHA). We will be relying on volunteers again this year to help out.

Food vendors will be available each weekend and events will be planned (such as inflatables, corn hole tournament, tractor pull, etc) as before. The corn pit will be enlarged as some new equipment has been purchased. Also looking for a couple possible vendors - pony rides, corn on the cob, and kettle corn.

We are always looking for input on other things people would like to see that we can incorporate. Please feel free to contact any of the people below:
