Summer is a time of celebration and each area community is working hard to put together events for all residents to enjoy.  Though it wouldn’t be possible without the help of local sponsors and citizens supporting local businesses.

Right now the Perry Chamber of Commerce is putting the final touches together for this year’s Friday fests, which Executive Director Bob Wilson says is a completely sponsor driven event.

“We have so many generous people but such a limited pool, so we always go to the same people it seems like” says Wilson.

Because smaller communities don’t have as many businesses available to help with such events, Wilson says it’s crucial that we support those we have.

“If you support your local businesses, they give back to local programs.  So this is the epitome of shop look here”

The first Friday Fest of the summer takes place next week, June 22nd at Pattee Park.
