Cancelation of Patricia Polacco’s “Meteor Festival” 2009

Due to the sudden and tragic death of dear friend and co-coordinator, DeeDee Foley, the Meteor Festival for July 11, 2009 has been cancelled. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for those of you planning a visit to our little town. We are truly saddened by the loss of our friend and due to the circumstances surrounding her death; we are unable to proceed with the festival for this year.

Those of you who may have attended in the past may remember DeeDee as the “bumble bee” in the “Bee Tree Race” as well as the vibrant and energetic teacher who ran the Graves House.

Thanks again for stopping in,


Patricia Polacco
