Be Part of the Mushroom Festival: Register Now for Events

Take your Mushroom Festival experience to the next level by
registering for one of its special events such as the Antique and Classic Car
Show, the Mushroom Run/Walk, or the Cute-As-A-Button (Mushroom) Baby Photo
Contest, or the Community Parade. Many events offer discounts for
pre-registration and include admission wristbands. Details for each event
follow.

Antique and Classic Car Show: Sit in the shade along Broad
Street and proudly display your antique or classic car for all our Festival
guests to admire. This annual event is a Festival favorite of our attendees.
Pre registration is open until Sept. 2 for $15. Open registration the day of
the event is $20. The first 100 registrants receive a t-shirt, dash plaque, one
admission wristband, and a free package of mushrooms.

Mushroom Run/Walk: Make the commitment now to start your
Mushroom Festival Sunday with a brisk run or walk along the scenic Red Clay
Valley. If you like a little competition, set your goals on winning! This
annual 5K run and 2-mile walk starts and finishes in front of Kennett High
School and traverses along the winding Red Clay Creek, passing a few of the
area’s mushroom farms along the way. Preregistration is open until Aug. 28 for
$15. Race-day registration is $20. There are t-shirts for the first 125
registrants. Admission wristbands are included. Prizes are awarded for first
place overall male, female, and walker. Medals are awarded for first, second,
and third place in all age categories. Beverages and snacks are provided after
the run.

Cute-as-a-Button: Entries are being accepted for the
Cute-as-a-Button (Mushroom) Baby Photo Contest through August 20. Take a photo
of your precious Button (6 to 15 months old), Crimini (15 to 24 months old)
and/or Portabella (2 to 3 years old) and send it to us with the application
form. From Aug. 27 through Sept. 4 encourage all your friends and family to
vote online for their favorite in each category (of course it will be yours).
The top three vote getters will compete for the 2011 title of Cutest Button,
Crimini, and Portabella at the Festival.

Community Parade: Be a part of the Community Parade on
Friday, September 9 as we celebrate our community and take a moment to remember
and honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks as the 10th anniversary of these
events approaches. The theme for the float contest is “A Celebration of Hope:
Remembering 9/11.” Our Honorary Chairman, Leon Spencer, will lead a remembrance
as the beginning of the parade meets the judges/reviewing stand at State and
Union streets.
