What do you do with the money you raise from Old Settlers 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 11 years ago, and it is run by the Lion's Club Volunteers. Every person on the committee is a volunteer, we have no paid staff. All 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 few years.

Why is the festival not on main street?

The population of Rockton has grown as well as the size of the festival over the last 20 years. Our 3 block downtown area however, has not. We simply cannot fit the festival in the few blocks we have available. There are also concerns regarding power and staging. By keeping the festival just one block off of main street we feel we can still stay in town, and festival goers are still close enough to patronize the downtown area during the festival.
