Summer Fest
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to give an update on our progress for Summer Fest. We seem to be moving forward, but still need artists and crafters for our Arts and Crafts Fair during Summer Fest. If you have not already downloaded the application, you may do so by going to http://www.oneidacommons.com/ Go to where it says "Downtown Association" and click on it. We are still accepting Applications!
If you feel that your items would fit better in our Flea Market you can also download the forms to participate in the Flea Market on July 10th by going to the same site and downloading the information.
In order to make this successful we need the community and all of our members support. We can't do this alone! Please help us revitalize our downtown and our community connection!

We need to make the applications for this event available and we need sponsors. The final application is on the Market at Oneida Commons website.
