Old Thmers Football Game Set for Town
If the planners for this year's
Hummingbird Festival in Hogansville
get their way the boom of cannon and
the cheers for the heroes of yesterday
are going to be added to the annual fes-
tival already chock full of rides, games
and the best in Southern crafts and food.
And, according to the festival organ-
izers, this kind of planning, coupled with
last year's success, is putting a rush on
the applications for booths.
Vicky and Roger Brown, who own
the Victoria Belle Plantation, a special
events facility on Main Street in
Hogansville, hope to bring in a War
Between the States encampment to their
property for the whole festival weekend.
There will be historically accurate craft
i
and military demonstrations as well as
an actual military engagement.
"It'll be a lot of fun," said Mrs. Brown,
"and it's very educational. Kids love to
ask the re-enactors questions about what
they're doing and the re enactors love to
answer them."
And the Hogansville Alumni whose
class reunion was such a wonderful part
of last year's festival ("Main Street was
one big hug") are also planning new activ-
ities.
A Hogansville Homecoming com-
plete with an old timers football game
and cheerleaders from yesteryear is
under consideration.
The festival, held this year on October
20th and 21st and billed as an Arts and
Hogansville
Festival
Oct. 20-21
Crafts and Family Fun Extravaganza,
raises money for the Hogansville
Charitable Trust.
The Trust, chaired by local business-
man Jack Leidner, has helped
Hogansville city government write and
submit a series of federal grants for near-
ly a million dollars worth of civic
improvements, first and foremost being
the renovation of the Royal Theater
(Hogansville's City Hall).
-... Work on the theater will begin this
fall. Profits raised during the festival go
toward the theater renovation and
required matching funds for the grants.
"The Hummingbird Festival is more
important than ever this year," says
Leidner.
"Work should start soon on the City
Hall with the Heritage 2000 grant and
the $35,000 that Senator Dan Lee got from
the state.
And the Streetscapes grant of
$350,000 will be put to contract soon and
we'll also need matching funds there as
well.
The Hogansville
depends on the festival to help
of this. And it's not only good
fun, too!"

We should top last year's
record of nearly 5,000 people."
