It is time to begin planning SeptemberFest!!!  The date for this year’s event is Saturday, September 1, from 10am to 4pm.  This year will be the 11th annual SeptemberFest on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion.  First Lady Henry is excited about the growth of the event and is looking forward to the fifth year of the Henry Administration hosting SeptemberFest.  This annual event is designed to provide free entertainment and education to families on our state’s history, heritage, resources and traditions. 

This year’s Education Venue Co-Chairs are Brenda Granger and Sherri Vance. We invite you to submit an educational activity proposal for SeptemberFest 2007.  The goal of the Education Venue at SeptemberFest is to provide a wide variety of hands-on educational activities for children of all ages. In the Education Venue last year we had approximately 19 hands-on interactive activities for children and their families.     

Other venues planned for SeptemberFest include Agriculture, Arts, Cultural, Health and Safety, Entertainment, Sports and more.  In addition to the venues, there will be committees formed to handle food, logistics, press, security, procurement, and volunteers. There is no admission fee to SeptemberFest and all activities are free.
