After a three-year absence, the popular Celebrate Havelock event is back.
Celebrate Havelock returns for its 15th anniversary on May 7 and organizers promise a bigger and better event inside and outside the Havelock Belmont Methuen Community Centre.
The event will feature numerous exhibitors including local businesses and community organizations.
“This celebration of the local community was started by Linda and Cliff Clark of the Havelock Chamber of Commerce in 2007. In the first couple of years it attracted 200 to 300 visitors. It has continued to grow over the years and consistently tops one thousand,” writes organizer Paul Stevens, in an email explaining the event. “As the attendance has grown, so has the number of exhibitors.”
The doors will be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The event will also feature a variety of food and beverage retailers with an array of offerings including perennial favourites Tim Horton’s, Grampa’s Fudge, Foodland BBQ, the HBM Firehall, and Back Alley BBQ. There’s also a chance to win prizes as well.
“Every year sponsors graciously donate thousands of dollars to help cover costs and ensure there is an enticing selection of draw prizes. So far, the Havelock Guardian Drugstore, Deal Taxi, Dunfords Powersport and Marine, Havelock Timber Mart, the Havelock Lions Club, JJ Hudson Remax, the Havelock Rail, Covia Holdings, and the Havelock Chamber of Commerce have come on board with more expected to join in,” writes Stevens.
