First Annual Dragonfly Festival Tomorrow in Redwood!

The Redwood Neighborhood Association's First Annual Dragonfly Festival is slated from 12-3 p.m. Saturday, May 31, at the Lowell Felder Memorial Park Pavilion in downtown Redwood behind Felder's Convenience Store.

The Dragonfly Festival celebrates the beginning of summer. The dragonflies' emergence is also a time when the biting black flies subside. Both the start of summer and the demise of the black fly are reasons to celebrate!

Activities for the afternoon include:

• A dragonfly costume contest for children (kids can come dressed up or make their costumes on-site!) 
• Open mic for musicians and singers 
• Burgers, pulled pork, and sides for sale (burgers are donated by the Redwood Tavern with sales benefiting the Redwood Neighborhood Association)
• Socialization with friends and neighbors after a brutal winter
• Dave Russell playing guitar—and other surprise guests!
• Vendors: Dragonfly Pottery, Indian River Lakes Conservancy, Better Farm, betterArts (with an arts 'n' crafts table for kids)
• Bocce ball matches
• ...and more !

Dragonfly Festival T-shirts benefiting the association will also be available for just $10, available in sizes S-XXXL. Come out and support your local neighborhood group and enjoy an afternoon outdoors!
