Chamber Seeks Craft & Food Vendors, Parade Entrants for 4th Annual 4th of July Street Fair

June 6th, 2008

"Good Ol' Fashioned Fun" will be the featured theme for this year's 4th of July Parade and Street Fair. From rock 'n' roll on the courthouse steps to square dancing demonstrations, art exhibits to outdoor recreation specialists, historic Main Street in downtown Klamath Falls will have something for everyone all day on July 4th.

Beginning with the traditional parade down Klamath Avenue, kicked off with a fighter jet flyover, the 4th Annual 4th of July Street Fair on Main Street promises to be a day of fun, food, friends and good times. Parade entrants can compete in a variety of categories; this year trophies will be awarded in Civic, Government, Club, Commercial, Family/Individual, Fraternal, School, Non-Profit, Youth, Religious, and Overall Grand Champion categories.

The Street Fair will officially begin with the draping of a huge American flag on the courthouse, followed by the singing of the National Anthem. The day's events culminate in a fireworks display over Lake Ewauna.

"This is a great way to celebrate pride in our nation, our community and our families. This event grows every year and we look forward to as many as 10,000 people joining in the festivities that day," says Rachael Spoon, Chair of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce Action Team that is organizing the day's festivities.

"We're looking forward to welcoming new craft and food vendors, exhibitors and entertainers to make this year's event bigger and better than ever."
