DennyFest

DennyFest is September 9, 2012!

Live music, a dog show, and the ever-popular Chili cookoff and Pie bakeoff are all on the menu of DennyFest this fall. So mark your calendars and make plans to stop by and join in. This years date is Sunday, September 9th, rain or shine, for the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance’s annual September “swan song to summer” festival.

What else can you look forward to? As in past years, there will be kids’ activities, guided nature hikes, and a barbeque. Also in store may be tours for kids of a few of the fire engines. An eclectic variety of other events are in the works, but more volunteers are needed.

FHNA Board member Meg Tally is leading this team of volunteers and putting together a fun line-up of activities for this upcoming date.

If you can pitch in with your creativity or ideas, please be in with her at meg@oz.net.

In the past, four local bands performed, including Natch’l Thang with Ben Musa, the Michael Ellyn Schetzle Quartet with Steve Boyce, The Babylons, and Wynne Blue and Her Trouble Fakers.

All Finn Hill residents and friends of Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance are welcome to come and encouraged to share their talents and help. Details continue to be worked out, and plans will be announced as they are finalized.

DennyFest, always in O. O. Denny Park, will be held from 12 to 4 pm near the Clayton Rich Memorial Shelter. There is no admission charge

Celebrating Denny Fest

Posted by Francesca Lyman on Jul 3, 2012 in Denny Fest, FHNA History | Comments Off

Today’s FHNA is a little like the chili cook-off and pie bakeoff contests it sponsors ever year at its annual Denny Fest festival—all homemade, using natural ingredients made from scratch. The same grassroots spirit that pervades Denny Fenny started years before with DCNA’s Community Pride day, later renamed to Woodlands and Waterways Day. Then, as now, the festival stages local musicians, art shows, and exhibits, a barbeque picnic, and arts and crafts activities for kids and their parents and friends. View the DennyFest2012...
