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.
