88th Harvest Festival focuses on heroes, helpers in community Theme ‘Honoring America’s Heroes’ to celebrate people who go above, beyond

H It

By Sara Van Cleve svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com

eroes come in all shapes and sizes — and this year the Harvest Festival is celebrating them all. The theme for the 88th annual Arvada Harvest Festival beginning Friday, Sept. 6, is “Honoring America’s Heroes.” “Certainly what comes to mind is military members, veterans and their families, but it’s everyone from the schoolteacher that made a difference to a first responder that saves a life,” said Harvest Festival producer Linda “Ole” Ferguson. “It’s all of those individuals that went above and beyond to make a positive difference.” Choosing this year’s theme was an easy decision. “It inspires in everyone a connection because everyone knows a hero,” Ferguson said. “And hopefully everyone aspires to be a hero to someone else.” The Arvada Harvest Festival is the secondlongest running event in Colorado and was hosted for the fi rst time by the Chamber of Commerce in 1925 to celebrate the paving of Grandview Avenue in what is now Olde Town Arvada. Grandview Avenue was the first paved road to connect the Arvada farming community to downtown Denver. In 1966, the Arvada Junior Chamber, or Jaycees, took over the planning of the event. Though the times have changed since its inception and the festival no longer focuses on connecting farmland to the capital city, one aspect remains the same — community. “The biggest thing is community,” said Chairman of the Harvest Festival Committee

Avriel Gregg, 7, waves her American Flag as the colors pass by crowds along Ralston Road. File photo by Justin Sagarsee Renee Nelson. “Why do we have community? What’s important in the community? It’s the people.” In addition to the annual fun times at the festival, such as the Kids’ Zone, entertainment, carnival rides and food, the Harvest Festival is also taking time to honor America’s heroes in the parade and throughout the festival. Throughout the weekend, heroes of all kinds will be honored with a certificate and a gift. Some heroes being recognized are military members and first responders, volunteers that make sure children gets toys at Christmas, one of the last remaining rescue dogs from 9/11 who currently has cancer and possibly a survivor of the Aurora theater shooting.

“We want to acknowledge people who overcome and she’s a hero in her own right,” Nelson said. “It’s a real wide variety of people. That’s what is really cool when we get information from people and we’re like ‘Oh my gosh, look what this person did.’ It’s stuff that people forget because the people aren’t in the spotlight.” As part of honoring America’s heroes, the festival committee is hosting an invitation-only “Heroes Dinner” Friday evening as well as in- Tha viting the public to honor their personal heroes ma through the “Wall of Honor.” Ita For more information about the 88th annual Arvada Harvest Festival, visit www.ArvadaHa- Ru Ne rvestFestivalParade.com.

Wall of Honor to celebrate residents’ heroes Attendees will have chance to share heroes’ photos, stories on panels By Sara Van Cleve svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com

he A r vada Ha r vest Festival is starting a new tradition this year of celebrating America’s heroes — the Wall of

Honor. The Wall of Honor is a group of panels, which will be guarded by volunteer veterans with Arvada’s American Legion Post 161, where residents can post photos and text about their own personal heroes during the festival. “When I was able to secure KYGO as our major sponsor, I knew they had an online Wall of Honor, in fact I posted something about my own son, who is a marine, there,” said Harvest Festival producer Linda “Ole” Ferguson. “I thought, wouldn’t it be cool and meaningful to create a physical Wall of Honor where people can actually post things and festival attendees could come and read about heroes in their own community.” The Wall of Honor became a reality when festival sponsor Home Depot offered to build the panels; there are five 4.5-feet-by-6-feet panels made of corkboard that will be elevated so they are at a level

where a 5-year-old could post or a will be provided. A mer ica n L eg ion members 65-year-old can post and read about will be guarding the panels and local heroes, Ferguson said. While many posts may be about reserve the right to refuse to post military members and veterans, something because of inappropriate Ferguson said attendees can post content, Ferguson said. Following the festival, KYGO about anyone they fi nd heroic. “They can post about their may take the panels with them as grandfather, their father, their they travel to different events so more people can g r a n d m o t h e r, post about their their aunt, their heroes — but sister, their son, I thought, wouldn’t it the panels will their daughter be back at the — whoever be cool and meaningful Harvest Festival is a hero, any to create a physical Wall next year and type of hero,” for years to come Ferguson said. of Honor where people as a new festival “If someone can actually post things tradition. posts a picture T he pa nels of a librarian and festival attendees will be unveiled who has been could come and read to the public serving at the during the school library about heroes in their own opening night for the past 45 concert at 6:30 years, then yay, community.’ p.m. F r i d a y, she got those Sept. 6, at k ids to read.

The activities, “Hero Lessons for Little Ones,” include a variety of craft projects for children to do that can teach them about positive qualities and serve as a reminder they can take home with them to live with such qualities. “They can put them in their room or on the refrigerator or wherever to remind themselves during the year

that these are the qualities that I want to live my life by so that I can be a hero to someone,” Ferguson said. “Every hero you know is compassionate, is honest and loyal and lives with integrity — all of those different kinds of qualities. You won’t find a hero without those qualities. If you want to grow up and be a hero, you have to live these qualities now and throughout your life.” The Kids’ Zone and all of its activities are open to children of all ages.

Runners, heroes go the distance before parade

Be alert for road closures

Annual 9/11 Remembrance Run features four distances in support of Homefront Heroes By Sara Van Cleve svancleve@ourcoloradonews. com

his year’s 9/11 Re me mbr a nc e Run will not only suppor t America’s military heroes, but it will also feature local heroes. The sixth annual 9/11 Remembrance Run — America Goes the Distance begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, in Olde Town Square and features three timed races — a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon — a family-friendly 5K run and walk and an untimed 10-mile training course. Each distance begins in Olde Time Square and end in McIlvoy Park. The annual run supports the local nonprofit Homefront Heroes, which sends materials and care packages to troops stationed overseas, helps military families in need while their loved ones are deployed, helps returning soldiers and veterans receive the services and benefits they need, and provides a variety of other services. While the run supports some of America’s heroes, this year’s run will feature a variety of heroes, all starting their morning off

with a run around Arvada. About 25 Chief’s Selects from the U.S. Navy stationed at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora will be running the 5K and will be joined by a group of visually impaired runners. “A group of visuallyimpaired runners and their guide runners are going to do the run,” said director of Homefront Heroes Linda “Ole” Ferguson. “I think that’s heroic because it’s a `Rising to the challenge’ kind of heroism and I think that’s really cool.” The members of the Navy will be running in cadence, which is quite an amazing sight and sound, Ferguson said. All runners in all distances will first run down the Harvest Festival parade route before the parade begins. “Last year was the first year we brought the runners up along the parade route and it worked out beautifully,” Ferguson said. “It seemed the parade watchers liked watching and cheering on the runners before the parade started.” Registration for the run ends on Thursday, Sept. 5. Arvada Press readers can get a reduced registration fee by entering the code “arvadapress20.”

Air show celebrates high-ﬂying heroes Model airplane show showcases top-notch pilots, warbirds, lets residents try hand at ﬂying By Sara Van Cleve svancleve@ourcoloradonews.com

eroes can be found anywhere — even flying high. The focus of this year’s Harvest Festival RC Model Air Show, hosted by the Arvada Associated Modelers, is “Heroes of the Sky” and will focus on warbirds and military aircraft and the heroes that flew them, said Joe Pirozzoli, the Arvada Associated Modelers director of public relations. The air show will feature about 30 pilots — including several nationally recognized — flying about 50 different planes, including giant scale models, replica warbirds, real turbine jets, helicopters and the “Wicked Witch” on a flying broom. The Arvada Associated Modelers, a chartered club of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, hosts the annual air show as a way to give back to the city in celebration of its commitment to and partnership to create the airpark and to add to the festivities of the Harvest Festival weekend, Pirozzoli said. The air park is located on city-owned land, but was fully built and is maintained through private funds. “The perception most people have is the really tiny things you can fly in your backyard, but model airplanes are so much more than that,” he said. “Scale aircraft are a depiction of real airplanes in the 30 to 40 percent range, meaning they’re a third to almost have the size and so much more than what people’s perception is.” During the show, he said, attendees will see stunts that can’t be seen with real, full-size aircraft. “Model aircrafts can do so much more than real aircrafts because they’re lighter

Photo by Sara Van Cleve and can withstand higher G-forces and stresses than real aircraft because the pilot isn’t sitting inside them. They can do far more acrobatically and they’re spectacular to watch.” There will also be a candy drop from one of the planes during the show for children to get some treats from the runway. In addition to seeing top-notch pilots, such as nationally recognized and sponsored Mark Dennis and celebrity pilot Brian O’Meara, attendees will also have a chance to try their hand at flying a model airplane themselves with the You Can Fly Too program. “The You Can Fly Too program has become so popular that this year we’re run-

ning it concurrently with the show at the west field,” Pirozzoli said. “It will give us more time and we’ll be able to run more people through it.” Attendees can try their hand at flying 1-5 p.m. and anyone old enough to hold a transmitter is welcome to give it a try. “We want to encourage boy and girls of all ages to try it,” Pirozzoli said. “We want to encourage ladies and gentlemen that have an interest too, so if you want to come out and fly, come out a fly. If your grandfather wants to come out and fly, have him come out too.” The air show will also include door prizes, concessions, a candy drop for the children from one of the model air-

planes and a fly-in by Flight for Life Colorado at 2 p.m. This year’s honorary Master of Ceremonies is Arvada City Councilman-at-Large Bob Fifer. The air show and all of its activities are free to the public. The show is 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Arvada Air Park, 7608 Highway 93 in Golden; the airpark can be accessed via the Pioneer Sand and Gravel entrance off of Highway 93. The air show will be at the park’s east field while the You Can Fly Too program runs concurrently at the west field.

For the fi rst time ever, this year’s Harvest Festival will include a demonstration and activities regarding sustainability courtesy of Denver Urban Homesteading. The sustainability activities include three workshops, including beekeeping and composting, a chicken swap and a chicken scramble, where chicken owners can race their hens for prizes. For the chicken scramble, chickens will be placed in heats as their owners sign them up and each heat will race for a chance to advance to the next round. “The races are going to be three minute each, so if nobody gets over the fi n-

The sustainability workshops will be from about 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 8, in the same area of McIlvoy Park. “It’s all about sustainability,” Nelson said. “We want to give people an idea of what they can do and what can be done, plus you can just have fun with it. Sustainability is becoming so important, anytime we can get the message out is good. It’s all about community and bringing back, giving back and doing.” For more information about the chicken scramble and other sustainability activities, call Nelson at 303-421-1769.
