Mitchell Persimmon Festival

From Mitchell Persimmon Festival Website:

This year's festival will be Sept. 20-27 with the Main Street activities kicking off Sept. 22. Assisting Lambton with the festival this year are two co-chairmen, Teresa Reynolds and Henry Shetler. Gary Rayhill will again serve as the parade chairman.

"I'm really looking forward to working with Teresa and Gary again, and with Henry, who is our newest festival co-chairman," Lambton said.

Already, the schedule is set for the festival, which always takes place during the last full week of September. Annual favorites, such as the Wray Bros., Building Nations and the Endless Summer Band, will again perform. This year, Jake Dodds & Stagecoach Revolver, a modern country band out of Bloomington, will take the stage Wednesday night. On Saturday night, Rusty Bladen will perform for visitors.
