Grantville Festival Deemed a
This year's Grantville Day held on
June 12 has been called a success by
its organizers.
There were more vendors and more
events than ever before and the atten-
dance was the second highest ever in
the history of this annual community
festival. There were more carnival
Irides than ever before and there were
even more authors present for book-
signings than in any of the previous
Grantville Days.
The high school art contest winner
"Golden Days," painted by Shanna
Walston, just barely made it to
Grantville Day on time. And it was
hot that the Great Dane Chain
Chandler was barely able to
his agility exercises.
