PLAN NOW TO PARTICIPATE AND ATTEND THE NORTH POLE SUMMER FESTIVAL! On Saturday, July 3, 2010, the premier early summer event happens in North Pole. This year's theme is, "Celebrating Tomorrow Today!" In the past few years, the event has attracted between 3000 and 5000 people and has been growing each year. We expect record attendance due to exciting new features such as the pre-parade "Elf Run--a 'short' 5K", the North Pole Princess contest for girls ages 5-10, a host of new games for children and teens, and entertainment featuring out-of-town bands. The 5K will traverse the parade route in places, the parade--with over 100 floats and participants--follows 5th Avenue to Santa Clause Lane and along St. Nicholas. Prizes are awarded for different float categories as well as for the children’s Bike Decorating Contest. Prizes are also awarded during the Greased Pole Climb, the Bed Race, and the new North Pole Princess Contest. Midway activities include over 50 vendors that have food, games, entertainment and more. Various prizes are also awarded on the hour at the same time as promotional recognition is given to sponsors and donors. The Midway activities take place at North Pole Elementary School. This year's activities may also include a live remote that will draw more traffic in throughout the day. The station being used is still under negotiation. We are soliciting large ticket items that "you must be present to win" that will be given away at the end of the day, encouraging maximum participation and fun all day long. For more information, call Mayor Isaacson at 488-8584.
