A NOTE FROM THE CORBETT FUN FESTIVAL

We need your help!
The Corbett Fun Festival, a non-profit organization that promotes family fun and sponsors community events, is already making plans for the 2007 4th of July Celebration. Each year, our organization raises funds through a Breakfast with Santa and collection jars at the two stores in the community.

All profits are set aside to provide what has been called, “The Best Fireworks display east of the Sandy River.” It is a day of family fun and entertainment, including such events as an old fashioned egg toss, a pie eating contest, a local talent show and a mole contest. These events build to a Spectacular Fireworks display at dusk.

We need your tax deductible donations for our Auction today! Please read here for all the details!
