I remember the first festival in 1973. The cake walk in front of the bank. Painting fire hydrants. I think the best year that i remember was when they had the flea market/crafts in the old Essex building on 1st st.

I wish they would bring back the jewerly, etc. that was made from popcorn. We were up up there 2 years ago for the festival and it is still a great festival. I am so glad the town has been able to remain a great place to live.

I had alot of fun then (1981-1984), the festival brought enjoyment to many visitors to Van Buren. Sharon (wife) Chris (son) and parents Jay and Shirley Dale are fine. Thanks to all the people that supported the store. Hello, to Bev and Annie Bayman.

I remember all the people filling up the streets for the parade and Carla, Nikki, Staci and I all participating in the sub eating contest. I just love seeing the people that I knew growing up and the way everyone changes and all the new faces.It is a great way for us to come together and now our kids can watch the parade together.

I remember making a scarcrow & painting the fire hydrant every year with mom. I try to come back every year to the festival and watch my grandkids enjoy the parade as much as we did as kids.

I remember the Scarecrow contests and painting the fire hydrants. I was at the first Popcorn Festival, not saying how old I am!

I remember when I coached the Hemmick Hardware Bears flag football team and I wore my shirt during the baby parade when my son Larry was a Jack in the Box. What a great time. I still fly back almost every year for the festival. Great Memories!

I remember the dances at the conservation club! That really dates me huh? Those were fun times. I also remember Martz's Market and the "dime store"! Seems like we always had our best thunderstorm right about the time the parade was supposed to get started also!

I have such great memories of my grandpa Bob Fincannon announcing the parade every year. Also, I remember my friends and I would save our money to go spend at the booths - we got lots of treasures back then. Finally, it was always so much fun for the entire Fincannon Family to meet over at my grandma and grandpa's house during the festival. Great memories...
