| There has been an ending and a beginning with the Calhoun County Wood
Festival.
The official festival corporation was dissolved at a special meeting held on
November 13.
"It is sad to see the corporation dissolved after all these years, and all the hard
work and determination to keep it going," said committee secretary Nikki
Boatright.
The festival will continue under the auspices of the Grantsville Lions Club, which
has played an active role in the event since it was started.
Lion member John Oshoway extended an invitation from Grantsville Lion's Club at
the special meeting to all current officers of the Wood Festival committee to join the
Lion's Club.
Boatright said the
committee looks forward to working with the Lion's Club and hopes it is a smooth
transition for both groups.
The Wood Festival will be held June 3rd, 4th, 5th, 2004. The committee is currently
working with the Calhoun
Commission on moving next year's festival to Wayne Underwood Field. The
committee is currently
planning a Petting Zoo, Kid's Field Day, Recipe Contest and "bigger" entertainment
for the 2004 Festival.
The next meeting of the Wood Festival committee will be held Tuesday, December
2, 2003 at Grantsville Lion's Club Building.
