EnergyFest displays
area talent, assets
by GREGG DUNN
LIFE Staff Wnter
Mount Pleasant is
prepared to celebrate
EnergyFest '89. with a
variety of shows and entertainment, including a
carnival, barbecue and
parade.
EnergyFest, now entering
its fifth year, is slated for
June 16-18. at Island Park.
The purpose of EnergyFest,
according to organizers, is to
provide fun and entertainment, while showcasing the
talent and resources of
Mount Pleasant.
Mount Pleasant's Centennial anniversary is the focus
of this year's EnergyFest. It
will honor the town's 100th
birthday with two historical
encampments reflecting the
area as it was before the
birth of Mount Pleasant. A
new attraction this year will
be a Civil War encampment
and battle re-enactment of
the Union and Confederates.
Sheer's Lumberjack Show
is returning to EnergyFest
for the second straight year,
EnergyFest   worker   Dave
McGuire said.
This show offers world
champion loggers and
features axe throwing, buck
sawing, springboard
chopping, and log rolling.
McGuire added the lumberjack show will feature 6peed
climbing with the world
speed climbing champion
Robert Sheer.
The EnergyFest Parade
will include 40 or 50 people
in the Centennial group
dressed in wedding gowns
and girl scout uniforms from
the past 100 years, parade
organizer Carol Pangarris
said.
"I think this parade will be
one of the best we've had,"
Pangarris said. "Between 80
and 90 units are in the
parade this year — including
the people in the logging and
encampment shows."
The opening kick-off for
EnergyFest 89' begins at 6
p.m. Friday, with a balloon
launch. Admission is $1 per
person for the weekend.
Children under 12 are
admitted free.
