Huron River Fest Queen and Court Announced
Huron Public Library needs to hear from you Since 1988, the Huron Public Library has used the process of long range planning to ensure that our programs and services are meeting current community needs while anticipating and planning for changes in the complex environment in which the library is situated. Interrelated changes in culture, economy, technology and society have prompted the Library Governing Board of Trustees, administration and staff to turn again to the community to listen to its ever-changing needs, hopes and aspirations for Library programs and services. We need your help. During the month of July, Huronites will have the opportunity to participate in our strategic planning process in two key ways; by completing a community survey and/or by attending a short community meeting focused on a specific interest or community need. You will receive your survey by postal mail very soon. However, you’re also welcome to complete the online survey now by visiting our strategic planning page, where you’re also welcome to register for a community meeting. For more information on getting involved in the process please call Daniel at 419-433-5009, or visit us on the web at http:// huronlibrary.org/strategicplanning.html . We look forward to hearing from you soon. Carol's

The Huron River Fest Committee is pleased to introduce the 20th Anniversary Huron River Fest Queen and her Court. On Saturday afternoon at the Huron Boat Basin Amphitheater the Queen’s Contestants joined Mr. Mac Lehrer and several of the River Fest committee members in the final leg of the competition. Judges from outside of the community judged the four contestants as they answered two rounds of thoughtprovoking questions. Other areas the contestants were judged included: community involvement, school activities, being a positive role model, ability to serve in a Queen’s capacity, poise & personality, ability to communicate and responses to questions asked. And the envelope please………The 20th Anniversary Huron River Fest Queen is…..Miss Emily Wiseman. 1st Attendant is Miss Leah Phipps, 2nd Attendant is Miss Emily King, and 3rd Attendant is Lynsie Schwerer. All four participants did an outstanding job in the competition. Royalty from around the area watched eagerly for River Fest Queen to be crowned and to take the $500 scholarship from the Huron River Fest.
Wiseman was sponsored by Pied Piper and Lighthouse Realty. Phipps was sponsored by Forthofer Training Services and Hallmark Dry Cleaning. King was sponsored by Locksmith’s Hair Studio and The Sand Bar. Schwerer was sponsored by Protech Roofing and Schwerer Construction. Mac Lehrer of the Lion’s Club assumed the role of host for the event. He very genuinely introduced each contestant and then asked the questions provided by the judges to the participants. Prior to the contest the Queen’s contestants rode together in the Lion’s Club River Fest Parade. South Shore Marine graciously escorted the young ladies in a boat pulled by a truck and trailer through the parade route. Barnes Nursery donated all of the flowers for Saturday’s crowing.

In celebration of Hinton’s retirement she graciously accepted the Grand Marshal role. Sunny skies and warm temperatures packed the midway and amphitheater as classmates reunited and long time friends found each other. Every vendor had something special on their menu as the bands entertained the crowds with the beautiful backdrop of the Huron Boat Basin.
