*Truenorth Cultural Arts Presents Arts Fest 2009 On July 4th At **Miller** *

*All day entertainment, artists, food and fireworks – a true family event

*(**Sheffield Village**, **Ohio**) **June 12th, 2009** - *TrueNorth is
partnering once again with the City of Avon Lake to present this year's Arts
Fest on July 4th. Arts Fest is in its second year at Miller Road Park, after
running for 4 years at the Saddle Inn. The event was moved to Miller Road
Park in 2008 to accommodate over 50 exhibitors, food vendors and
sponsors and to take advantage of two stage locations allowing for
all-day live musical entertainment on the main stage as well as on the
gazebo stage. Arts Fest is a celebration of the arts and creativity in the
community and provides a platform for artists, businesses, politicians, and
public figures to get out and meet the public in the park setting.



This year's goal is to parallel last year's exhibitor base which allows
local participants to gain exposure and sell there wares to the community
at-large in a single event. This year's exhibitors include jewelers, purse
makers, custom sandal makers, glass artists, visual artists, specialty foods
vendors, Save the Woods, and a host of community businesses. This year’s
sponsors and contributors include The City of Avon Lake, Danco Metal
Products, Fifth/Third Bank, CenturyTel, Jamestown Group, PolyOne, Busch’s
Funeral Home, Chemtron, TrueValue Hardware, Reliant Electric, TMC Insurance,
Medical Mutual of Ohio. Local food vendors include Tailgators Sports Bar,
Dairy Queen, The Wine Shop, and other specialty food providers.



All-day entertainment begins at 2:00PM on two different stages. The main
stage, positioned against beautiful Lake Erie will feature artists such as
Detour – a pop rock group, Kim & Chris Ceja – performing original folk/jazz
music, The Morrison/McCarthy Duo – an acoustic guitar/harmonica duo, and
more. The Gazebo Stage will feature Abracadabra Entertainment, a live
DJ/magician catering to the tastes of our community’s youth.



Blow-up bounce houses will be available for children all day. Families are
encouraged to attend and celebrate our Nation’s Independence on the shores
of Lake Erie.



The headliner musical performance, the TrueNorth Chorale & Symphony is
performing the annual Patriotic Concert on the main stage, which drew a
crowd of over 700 people last year. This year's performance is choreographed
to the city's fireworks display, which is moved to Miller Road Park from its
long-running history at Weiss Park.



Sponsors, exhibitors, artists and food vendors are still welcomed and
encouraged to register. Registration packets can be downloaded from the
TrueNorth website at www.TNCArts.org <http://www.tncarts.org/>, or by
