Unsung heroes behind the scenes make Dickinson Days a success

Dickinson Days was once again a tremendous success. The weather was perfect, the parade and fireworks outstanding, the children’s events well received, and the entertainment Saturday and Sunday in the tent was a big hit. The craft market venders had a successful day. We would like to thank our many contributors and particularly the unsung heroes who have been supporting us year in and year out. They have earned it.

The longest running contributors have been the Kinsmen Alumni, who have been involved with the Dickinson days festival since 1978. They managed it until around 2010. They continue their participation to this day by organizing, cooking, and serving the Pancake Breakfast.

ensure we meet city Health standards.

Every year, Greg Newton has been the official photographer for all Kiwanis events and activities. He has been recording Dickinson Days for as long as Kiwanis has been sponsoring it. This is in addition to volunteering for many other activities throughout the weekend.

Finally, Terry McGovern has been the sound technician for Dickinson Days since 2012, always helping in the background. He has provided the audio for the Friday night parades as well as for the entertainment in the tent on Saturday. He has also produced shows in the tent on a Saturday evening or Sunday to exhibit local musical talent.

This year, Terry and his band, the Retrosonics, with support from MACAW, sponsored a full afternoon on Sunday of music with local talent. The dedication of volun- teers like these over the years has been a large part of our success. They work diligent- ly behind the scenes to make Dickinson Days an event to remember. Thanks Guys.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Village of Manotick for their support in making the Dickinson Day Weekend a great success. It really takes the whole community to pull this off. Even Mother Nature was on our side! Planning began in earnest last January involving many Kiwanians. Several community minded organizations and individuals also step up every year. It’s impossible to thank everyone individually here but please know we greatly appreciate the support we get from the whole community. We are very grateful for the help we get from the MBIA, Watson’s Mill staff, our volunteer firefighters from both Manotick and Greely, the Kinsmen Alumni, Terry McGovern and the folks at MACAW as well as Kerry and the folks at Miller’s Oven. We also wish to thank our generous sponsors for their support. None of this would be possible without them.
