Fo
ival in need of board members for 201 2
By NATALIE JOHNSON
Forest Festival has been an
annual tradition in Shelton for
67 years, with each year cel-
ebrating the area's history and
heritage.
But despite its popularity,
few people volunteer to run the
nostalgic event, Forest Festival
Committee President Debi Har-
vey said.
"We almost didn't have a pa-
rade this year because we didn't
have a parade chair," she said.
While Lynne Freeman stepped
up to run the parade, Harvey
said the board is still without a
scholarship chair, fundraising
chair and secretary or president
for 2012.
The committee didn't have
a vice president, secretary, or
treasurer for the 2011 festival.
Harvey, who has served as
president of the Forest Festival
Committee for 20 years, planned
to step down this year, and
found a replacement earlier this
summer. However, after consid-
ering the time commitment, that
individual stepped down, and
Harvey was left without a new
organizer.
