Rain Doesn’t Dampen Enthusiasm for African American Festival
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
The clouds burst open on
both days of this year’s African American Festival but that
didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the festival attendees who
gathered to sample local food and listen to a wide range of
musical offerings. The Zapp band headlined Saturday’s
entertainment and local favorite, Rance Allen, closed out
the Sunday show.
Sunday’s attendance was
boosted by the fact that the festival organizers, Toledo
Urban Federal Credit Union, raised funds from local groups,
particular churches, in order to keep ticket prices down -
$5.00 for adults. |
