Edison Fest

Edison Museum of Vienna

On June 5, 2010 the Edison Museum of Vienna, in cooperation with Museums Bayham, welcomes everyone to the annual Edison Fest held at the Vienna Memorial Park.

The day long event starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. and offers food and craft vendors all day. Come enjoy making your own ice cream sundaes and floats, eat all the free popcorn you want and indulge your sweet tooth with some cotton candy.

Live entertainment starts at 1 p.m. and features fiddle player Clayton Barker, pianist Bob Van Impe and vocalist Cindy Franklin. A talent show will begin at 3 p.m. and Bayham’s own Elvis impersonator will make his annual appearance.

The event is great for children as there are many fun activities to do all day. Children can play on the bouncers, climb the rock wall, do crafts, make homemade ice cream or go on a horse and buggy ride. There is a little something for everyone.

Participate in the many competitions and contests like the Lazy Light Bulb Race down the Otter Creek or the Cross-cut saw and nail driving competition. There will also be free draws for great prizes such as bicycles and skateboards. Prize winners must be in the park to claim their prize.

A silent auction and yard sale put on by the Vienna Citizens Group could offer some interesting finds or scratch your history itch and visit the Edison Museum, located at 14 Snow St., and learn about inventor Thomas Edison’s connection to this tiny, rural community.

There is a lot to see and do at Edison Fest and we look forward to seeing everyone there.
