Summer Fest: a celebration of community success

Dear Editor,

Summer Fest 2025 delivered a weekend to remember. The festival officially opened on Friday evening with a main stage ceremony at 6 p.m. and continued through Sunday, the first time in many years that the event extended into a third day.

The festival featured a wide range of activities including live entertainment, local food vendors, family-friendly attractions and community fellowship. Attendees enjoyed an atmosphere filled with excitement and connection, making Summer Fest 2025 one of the most memorable celebrations in recent history.

Organizers are already looking ahead to future events with the goal of continuing to provide a festival experience that reflects the pride and spirit of the community.

We’d like to take a moment and give a big heartfelt “Thank You” to all of our sponsors, without whom none of this would be possible.
