Press release from Holli Margell, North Delridge Neighborhood Council Outreach

Last year’s 5th Annual Delridge Day was a true community success. North Delridge Neighborhood Council’s Co-Secretary, Amanda Leonard, stepped up when the previous organizing group’s lack of funds threatened to cancel the festival. The result? A community-wide celebration that included the Delridge Skatepark Grand Opening, over 40 vendors and more than 2,000 attendees. Plans for an even bigger 2012 Delridge Day Festival are currently under way.

The 2012 Delridge Day Festival is planned for August 18th from 11AM-3PM at the Delridge Park. This year’s festival will feature two new activities: the first Alki Bike and Board Skate Contest and a music stage. Interested musicians can email contact Chas Redmond at credmond@mac.com and provide links to their music.

The planning committee is working on securing sponsors and vendors to make this year’s event happen. The sponsorship and vendor fees not only support the festival, but also give back to the community as 15% of all fees are donated to the ARC (Associate Recreational Council), which provides Scholarships for Community Center classes at the Delridge Community Center.

Vendor and Sponsor packets are available online at www.ndnc.org/delridgeday or by emailing the planning committee at delridgeday@ndnc.org
