Johnston Peach Blossom Festival Presents ‘A Johnston Homecoming’ web posted February 10, 2009 JOHNSTON – The theme for this year’s Johnston Peach Blossom Festival is “A Johnston Homecoming.” This theme is designed to encourage local citizens to invite family and friends to Johnston for the weekend to enjoy all the Festival has to offer. While the Festival provides a focal point for the weekend, it’s a time for family and friends to reconnect, especially with those who may have been away from the area. Churches and local organizations are encouraged to use the weekend to invite people to the Festival, which will be held May 2, 2009, in Johnston, known as the Peach Capital of the World. The popular Festival, now in its 26th year, is taking applications for individuals, organizations or businesses interested in being a part of event. Last year, thousands of patrons descended on Johnston to enjoy the day set aside to honor the peach industry, which has been so important in the development of the area. Each year, the Town goes all out with the Festival to remind citizens about the peach industry and to open its arms to visitors. Applications and expressions of interest are now being accepted in the following areas: • Entertainment: Tonya King, (803) 275-3132, 906 Hillcrest Dr., Johnston, SC 29832, king3774@bellsouth.net; • Parade: Roger Lamb, (803) 275-0438, 505 Roland Ave., Johnston, SC 29832; • Rides: Debra Aston, (803) 275-2345, 416 Lee St., Suite 2, Johnston, SC 29832, astond@bellsouth.net. • Food Concessions: Frank Davis, (803) 275-4786, 7 Heritage Trace, Johnston, SC 29832, lfrankdavis@bellsouth.net; • Arts and Crafts: John Timmerman, (803) 637-6866; 334 Woodridge Road, Edgefield, SC 29824, johntimm@bellsouth.net; • Corporate and Dance Sponsorships: Dean Campbell, (803) 275-3635, 802 Ouzts St., Johnston, SC 29832, pdeanc@bellsouth.net; and • Program Book Ads: Debra Aston, (803) 275-2345, 416 Lee St., Suite 2, Johnston, SC 29832, astond@bellsouth.net. In addition to the areas listed above, the Festival also has a Friday, May 1, street dance in downtown Johnston, designed especially for families.
