SPECIAL EVENTS
ORDINANCE
Facts about the Fest
The purpose of this ordinance is to
assure the safety and enjoyment of all
participants and guests of the festival. The ordinance
prohibits the possession of open intoxicants or the consumption of alcoholic beverages in the festival area
unless the beverages are purchased from and dispensed
by a vendor licensed for outdoor sales and has been
approved by the City Council. Bringing any container of
alcoholic beverages into the special events area is also
prohibited. The ordinance further restricts animals, bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, roller blades, or other
similar devices, except those needed to assist persons
with disabilities. People who refuse or fail to comply with
the ordinance will be subject to corrective action. Our
goal is to provide a fun and safe environment where
families and friends can come together and enjoy a festive weekend filled with exciting activities for everyone.
We are looking forward to a successful event and ask for
your cooperation and assistance in adhering to the restrictions set forth in the ordinance.

Kids’ Korner
There are plenty of things for kids to do at
the 2013 Summer Festival! Just look for the
clock tower located at the corner of West
Road and West Jefferson Avenue, where

return of the Children’s Playmarket. Kids
can let their imagination and creative juices
flow when they enter the Playmarket. Inside
the tent, kids can create an array of arts &
crafts, participate in activities, and win
prizes. What more could a kid want? How
about the traditional Kids’ Korner games of
skill, sidewalk chalk art, candy scramble
and the Diaper Derby & Toddler Trot? This
and more
await the little
ones when
they visit the
Korner near
the Clock
Tower. The

again host
an open
house at
their downtown fire
station. Youngsters will have the opportunity to learn about fire safety and prevention. Also, youngsters can become a
junior firefighter and try their hand at operating a fire hose! It all takes place in front of
the Trenton Fire Station No. 1, located at
the corner of Maple Street and West Jefferson. A small fee will be charged for the
games. Look for them at this year’s Kids
Korner, open Friday & Saturday, 10 a.m.-5

The festival could not run the event

Entertainment
Friday Night

and British pop/rock hits. The band recently was named a Detroit Music Awards winner,
and was voted Outstanding Tribute Band of 2013. FAF is a fan favorite throughout
southeastern Michigan (especially in festival season!) — and also performs all over the
country. "Fifty Amp Fuse is the real deal; they perform like seasoned pros,” Davey
Johnstone from the Elton John Band said. Members include Remy Lambert, Allen

Kent Koller. For more information, visit www.fiftyampfuse.com, or www.Facebook.com/

Saturday Night
The Tubes featuring Fee Waybill
The lead singer for the Tubes was born John Waldo Waybill, but the name Fee came by
way of a bass player who thought Waybill looked like the King of Fiji, pictured on the
cover of a National Geographic magazine, and began calling him “Fiji” which eventually
was shortened to Fee. His acting credits include Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,
Ladies and Gentleman the Fabulous Stains, Private Eye, Bouncers, SCTV, MTV guest
VJ appearances, along with three books on tape and various voice-overs on commercials. The Tubes recorded 10 LPs for A&M and Capitol Records from 1974 to 1985 and
were headliners on their first tour, with eight dancers, seven band members, six 32-inch
onstage TV monitors, wild acts and an entourage of 35, including a pyrotechnic advisor,
a video supervisor and two costume mistresses. The Tubes are most recognized for hits
like, “I saw her standing
there,” “Talk to ya later,”
Formerly 1897 Smokehouse
“She’s a beauty” and “Loves
a mystery.” For more on the
band, visit thetubes.com or

Wood Dreams
Crafters
Don & Kristen Peterson
Montague, Mich.
This will be Don and Kristen Peterson’s first show in
Trenton. They heard about the Trenton Summer Festival
through another crafter they work with to provide wood
bases for their granite Lazy Susans.
The couple hopes to explore our community a little
while they are here, as they travel to about 25 shows a
year. It’s 225 miles to travel here from Montague, carrying an inventory with
them of
about 300
to 400
handmade
items for
every show.
All the
trees they
use are harvest urban trees where they actively rescue
trees from becoming firewood. These are mature, beautifully preserved woods that are created into centerpiece
items for the home.
They are able to fashion these trees into cutting
boards with a kiln dry process that stabilizes and stops
the movement of wood. The Peterson’s use mineral oil
and beeswax to finish the process. Coasters are applied
with three coats of a food safe oil varnish and absolutely
no petroleum or solids are used. Come visit their booth
and see for yourself the quality of wood products the
Peterson’s offer.

Trenton Summer Festival
Vendors
Volunteers
Every year the Trenton Summer Festival committee relies on volunteers to make many of the
events happen.
That will hold true again this year, as the group
continues to seek residents and others willing to
help out at this year’s new, “earlier summer” festival, slated for June 28-30 along West Jefferson
Avenue.
The beverage booths and beverage sales
booths are manned by community members who
want to have a little fun in the sun and be part of the festival action. Last year more than three hundred people
gave at least two hours apiece to man a station or provide help in the many aspects of the event.
Committee members and city staff members spend at
least an hour a month during the year at meetings, many
hours following up on their specific duties, and then 12 to
14 hours a day at the three-day event to make sure it
runs smoothly.
Why do they do it? Husband and wife team Kay and
Al Sidebottom said they enjoy the camaraderie with other
committee members and like being part of an event that
is important to the city.
The couple has been involved with the festival for the
last 36 years. They got started when they were with the
Trenton Museum, giving horse and buggy rides to festival-goers. The committee members sensed their interest
and asked them to be part of their group.
The Sidebottoms currently are in charge of the vendors. When they started, the festival had just four food
vendors. Now it regularly has more than 20. They truly
love the excitement and the people they have been involved with through the years.
Now, instead of on a horse and buggy, you will see
them zipping through festival in their detailed golf cart. Al,
as some committee members recall, was banned from
the loudspeaker about 20 years ago when he announced
that, “Louie The Litterbug was now appearing.” It was
actually Louie The Lightning Bug,” the then-mascot of
Detroit Edison.
There have been some challenging festivals, such as
the year everyone was evacuated because of the chemi-

cal spill in a nearby community, and the year there was a
dispute over beer prices, and the year a reckless driver
decided to try and drive through the barricaded event
area.
But Al and Kay giggle and say they will do this as
long as they can. Their kids have grown up with the festival vendor kids and everyone truly feels like family.
“I’ll never forget the year I had to grease some wheel
bearings so a vendor could actually leave the festival,
otherwise his vehicle would have been towed,” Al said.
A fine arts award winner, Ilene Flannigan is the resident festival photographer who has captured many special moments throughout the years. When asked to serve
on the Parks and Recreation commission in 1994, she
realized the need for photos of all the great events in
Trenton.
This job then grew to include the photos for the annual Buzz city directory and much more. She loves taking pictures of the kids enjoying the activities at Kids’
Korner during festival, and enjoys the action shots at the
tournaments and sporting activities.
Anyone interested in volunteering some time for this
year’s festival can call (734) 675-7300, or visit
www.trentonsummerfestival.org.
The Arnoldy family started in the festival business in
the mid 1980s. The original name was Geoffrey’s
Cheesesteaks, but they changed the name to CIACheesesteak Institute of America in 2008.
This is their first year back to festival in over 20 years
since it is not the same weekend as Wyandotte. Their
CIA trailer travels all over Michigan during the season.
It is widely accepted that the cheese steak sandwich was
born in South Philadelphia sometime during the 1930s.
In “City of Brotherly Love” one does not order a “Philly
Cheesesteak” or a “Philly;” they order a “Cheesesteak.” It
is outside of metropolitan Philadelphia that the terms
“Philly” and “Cheesesteak” are synonymous and interchangeable.
This family serves up a mean sandwich no matter
what you call it! So make sure to ask for yours, anyway
you’d like, this summer during Trenton’s Festival! Their

The Donut Diner
Vickie or Dennis Bragg, Trenary, Mich.
Vickie and Dennis Bragg can’t figure out why they are
always being followed by the area police. But they are
always ready with fresh, warm mini doughnuts! They
both have always craved mini doughnuts, so inspired by
an idea to sell fresh and hot mini doughnuts all over the
country, they sold their retail business, and took to the
road.
This couple starts out in their Winnebago in May and
doesn’t come home to Trenary until around October.
They are not sure how many doughnuts they usually sell
in a weekend, or the amount of the most they ever sold,
but they are pretty sure Trenton’s Summer Festival might
be the largest crowd they’ve ever had. Other events and
festivals usually only have a few thousand guests.
The Braggs are looking forward to their first weekend
in Trenton. They will be dishing up hot and fresh mini
doughnuts, warm pretzels and serving up slushes. The
