TUESDAY'S IN THE PARK
Fennville Announces First Independence Day Festival
Join us in Downtown Fennville on Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th for the first
annual Fourth of Fennville Festival. Fennville’s first Independence Day Celebration will
commence at 8:30 am and wrap up at 2:00 pm. The Downtown Development Authority
has planned many Classic Independence Day Activities to celebrate the Fourth of
Fennville.
Begin your day on Saturday the 4th at 8:30 am with a 5K fun run/walk sponsored by the
Fennville Football Teams. All proceeds will benefit the football program. The race ends
right downtown where you can participate in or just simply watch our red, white and
blue parade. The parade will begin at 10 am at the Elementary School and will wind its
way to the end at the corner of Main and Maple Streets. Immediately following will be a
dedication of the new Robert and Edith Hutchinson Garden, on Main Street next to the
post office. The garden will be dedicated in appreciation of their years of support that
the Hutchinson Family has provided to their favorite City. Highlighting the parade,
Fennville Tire is sponsoring their annual Classic Car Show and after the cars are featured
in the parade, they will be beautifully displayed on West Fennville Street at Chemical
Bank-Shoreline’s parking lot and surrounding parking areas.
To keep everyone busy throughout the event there will be scores of classic carnival
games and refreshments including a dunk tank manned by local luminaries. In keeping
with the Fourth of Fennville’s unique theme, the DDA offered local groups to run the
booths to raise money for their organization. Many groups, such as the High School
Football team, Cheerleaders, Boy and Girl Scouts have offered to run booths during the
day of events. Enter the Pie Baking Contest or the Watermelon Eating Contest or take a
shot at dunking your favorite Fennvillian and enjoy what promises to be a wonderful
tradition in Downtown Fennville.
On Sunday July 5th at the High School Baseball field, a Charity Softball Game will take
place between the Fennville Area Fire Department and the Allegan County Sheriff
Department. The game will begin at 2:00 and a donation is required for entry. All
proceeds will be donated to local charities. A barbecue lunch will be available at
Paradise Park beginning at 1:00 pm.
The Saturday events will take place on Maple Street south of Main. The carnival games
and refreshments are family friendly, guaranteed not to break the bank. Mark your
calendar to spend the day celebrating the 4th in Fennville.
For more information on the event, to volunteer or to enter the race or contests please

FENNVILLE'S FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
A Blackhawk Challenge
BY: Coach Sam Morehead
"Blackhawk Country" Folks:
Definition: A people, who time after time over the past 60 years, when told that
something couldn't be done----DID IT ANYWAY.
Yes! That's all of us. We were raised in a community that has a first class school campus all
built through community efforts: and excellent district library and school libraries;
community housing for all; doctors/dentists; a GREAT community athletic center: excellent
recreation programs; service organizations (Lions' Club, VFW, American Legion, Ministerial
Association, Sunshine Club, Masons, Rebekkahs, Goose Festival Committee, etc.); excellent
athletic facilities; a fine arts program to "brag" about; hunting; fishing; lakes; etc.
The list is endless but exists because you can't be a BLACKHAWK without BELIEVING in the
power of people. Whatever the challenges presented to the Fennville community, the
good old American "coulda', woulda' shoulda';" and a "get'er done" spirit always prevails.
Fennville is the little city that can always figure a solution, thanks to our determined
Blackhawk Spirit. READ MORE>>>
