Cultural portion of the 2012 People's Cultural and Kite Festival of Parade of nations for the Developmentally Challenged cancelled
This year the People's Cultural portion of the Parade of nations - parade, cultural entertainment, silent auction, kids' entertainment and trade show - schedule for September 15th will unfortunately be cancel. This cancellation is the result of a lack of qualified volunteers to fill key positions all year round.
The KiteFest portion is schedule for September 16, at the "Bowl" at the western end of Lamoureux Park, near the RCAFA building, on Water Street, in Cornwall. The KiteFest is designed to showcase skills and celebrate the wonder of flight in a community and family setting. This event welcomes flyers at all skill levels, from beginner to expert and trophies are award for specific categories.
Parade of nations strongly believes there is unity in diversity, ensuring to include those individuals with special needs to make them feel accepted and understood. Culture encompasses everything: multiculture, all art forms and the reason for our organization to promote local artists, artisans, performers, writers, businesses and groups of all kinds during this event.
The good news is that in the last month, major key players have come forward to help the organization and in October 2012 there will be another press release to convey to the public the new direction of Parade of nations for the Developmentally Challenged. By year end, the organization will hopefully be able to issue income tax receipts.
