The Templeton
Chamber of Commerce
Invites You to Attend Our
Annual Founder's Day Celebration
Date
Sunday, November 14, 2010Location
Downtown Templeton at the Templeton Historical Museum
309 S. Main Street
Templeton, CaliforniaTime
9:00 am - 3:00 pmFounder’s Day is when the community of Templeton commemorates the anniversary of the arrival of the first passengers off the train in November of 1886, as well as area’s roots in agriculture. In earlier days, this event was a “homecoming” celebration wherein members of the community, past and present, would gather to reminisce and visit with family and friends. Recently, this event was revived by the Templeton Chamber of Commerce and Templeton Historical Museum Society with an Old- Fashioned Pie Social and entertainment.
Because of the increasing popularity of this event, we will be expanding the venue by closing a portion of Main Street to thru traffic. This will allow more room for displays and booths in a safe environment. We have also moved the hours of the event forward to better accommodate vendors and volunteers. We will keep the tradition of providing a free slice of pie (or cake) for all who attend. We will have live entertainment, a display of art by our elementary school students, a display of vintage tractors, hit-n-miss engines and automobiles and a street fair featuring handmade items by our local crafters.
The event will center around the Templeton Historical Museum at 309 S. Main Street in the heart of downtown Templeton. The Feed & Grain will provide a backdrop for the display of vintage tractors and hit-n-miss engines. The event will be held on Sunday, November 15th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. This is a great time for our crafters to sell their wares because it is just before Thanksgiving and the Holiday season.
At this time, we are asking for sponsorships to offset the cost of promotion, organization, entertainment and refreshments, including the pies and cakes. Please see the Sponsorship Request form for more information
We are also accepting applications from craft and food vendors who would like to participate. For more vendor information, see the Vendor Application form.
