PAGE 10 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, September 9, 2012 Dallas Harvest Festival is celebrating its 10th year Event set for Sept. 16 in and around Main Street in Dallas Borough. The Dallas Harvest Festival Steering Committee announces plans for the 10th Annual Dallas Harvest Festival to take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16 on and around Main Street in the borough. It's hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since a small group of Back Mountain resi- dents got together to discuss vi- sioning in Dallas. Weeks later, an even smaller group came up with the idea for a “street fair” in downtown Dallas and ulti- mately ran with the ball to put a local festival together in a mat- ter of weeks. Whether through divine inter- vention or sheer luck, the first event took place on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2003 and played out without a hitch, laying the strong foundation for the award- winning event that continues to bring the Back Mountain to- gether for an afternoon of com- munity and celebration of the re- gion’s rich agricultural heritage. In observance of its decade- long tradition, the Dallas Har- vest Festival seeks to interact with the community in a special way this year - a “give back” to the thousands of people who visit Main Street each year. Among the planned commem- orative activities will be “Best of Kiss the Pig” which will pit win- ner against winner to see who can garner the most votes (and the most dollars for charity). Vy- ing for the privilege of kissing Dallas’ favorite potbelly pig are Dallas Borough Mayor Tim Car- roll (2003), Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dodson (2006), Back Mountain Community News Publisher and past Dallas Ro- tary President Lisa Pretko (2007) and Dallas Middle School Principal Tom Duffy (2008). District Judge James Tupper will announce the winner dur- ing the festival. Meanwhile, watch for those pink-labeled jugs to appear in Back Mountain businesses and vote with a sin- gle $1 for the winner/charity of your choice.
