To the editor:
TEAM Jaffrey’s Riverfest Committee would like to thank all who attended this year’s event. As the day unfolded, there were so many sights and sounds to take in – families drawing with chalk together, children playing “Limbo on Main,” farm animals strolling down Main Street, Darth Vader in the dunk tank, 300 ears of corn shucked at light-speed, and people of all ages line dancing and Zumba-ing together – magic, balloons, cartoons, activities, and over 80 crafters and organizations to explore!
None of this would be possible without the effort and dedication of our hard-working volunteers who worked tirelessly to help the day run smoothly. Many thanks to our community partners: Town of Jaffrey (Highway, Police, Fire, Library, Parks & Rec), Jaffrey Civic Center, Rousseau’s Music, and the merchants who participated in our scavenger hunt and offered “Downtown Deals.” Hats off to our generous sponsors whose donations help us to make Riverfest possible: Lead sponsor MilliporeSigma; co-sponsors Infogroup, McDonalds, Pelletier’s Sport Shop, U.S. Cellular; and many businesses who contributed, Apollo Steel, Bimbo Bakeries, Bellows-Nichols Insurance Agency, Connolly Brothers Dairy Farm, New England Screenprinters, Rite Aid, Steve’s Lettering, Subway, Tyler’s Ice Cream, WB Mason and WG Ellerkamp.
