| What's New in 2008??? |
|
We have
several goals for OSD every year. We strive to provide
quality entertainment for a low price. We also find it
necessary to keep adding new attractions to keep the
festival fresh - and something to anticipate every year.
We've also added all these extras below!
With our Bigger
Bands - We've had to upgrade our stage!

| With the
current flooding, where is OSD going to be held? |
| We have
determined there is enough usable space in the Settlers
Park area to hold the festival in the same general
location. Things are going to be moved around quite a
bit - but we think we've come up with a plan that will
work out well! We will not only use the unflooded
portion of the park, but all of Hawick Street, the old
Grainery plat, and the storefronts on Hawick street.

| I'm under 21, and I want
to see the bands, how do I get into the beer tent? |
| Your admission button includes
all musical entertainment, no matter your age. All
patrons 21 and over will receive a wrist band to
purchase alcohol. |
| |
| What do you
do with the money you raise from Old Settler's Days? |
| Old
Settler's Days has a long history in Rockton. Starting
out years ago on Main Street, and being run by various
groups including the OSD Committee, and the Rockton
Chamber of Commerce. The Rockton Lion's Club took over the
festival about 8 year ago, and it is run by the
Lion's Club Volunteers. The profit we make from the
festival goes back to the community. The
Rockton Lion's Website has a list of organizations
and causes we've donated to in the last year. |
| |
| Why isn't
OSD held on Main Street anymore? |
| There
are several reasons, but the biggest one, and most
important is that the festival has grown in size over
the years and simply won't fit. We only have a few
blocks to use downtown to put on the festival, even then
we'd impede businesses and private homes. When OSD was on Main Street, we had less than half the
carnival rides, and our bands did not draw the large
number of people they do now. We had to move to a
location that would comfortably and safely accommodate all the
residents who wished to attend. By using Settler's Park
we feel we still are close enough to downtown to both
attract patrons to the Village businesses and to
comfortably enjoy the festival. |
