5-12-10 —   The Heart of Lake Cumberland SpringFest 2010 is set for Friday, May 14

and Saturday, May 15 at Memorial Park. This year's event will feature many

favorite activities like KidZone with free inflatables, live entertainment,

arts, crafts, food and much more.

    Starship will be the headline musical event for SpringFest 2010, and

they will take the stage on Saturday night at approximately 9 p.m. But

before then there will be plenty for everyone to enjoy.

    SpringFest kicks of on Friday at 4 p.m. and the Monticello Elementary

Choir will perform at about 5 p.m. The Lake Cumberland's Got Talent Show

will be held Friday after opening ceremonies. It is slated to begin at about

5:30 p.m.

    Rapid Transit will take the stage at 8 p.m. and Klayssic Tymes will

perform at about 9:15 p.m. Friday.

    SpringFest gets underway at 10 a.m. Saturday. The first act on the stage

will be the Bell Tones at 11 a.m. Plan to stay all day and listen to music

by Reverend John and the Backsliders, The Mojo's, Ugly Tree, Velveeta Jones,

and Andy and the Rockers. Starship's concert will provide a finale for

SpringFest.

    "The Event Committee has worked extremely hard on being able to secure

Starship, plus expand KidZone, while keeping the event free to the public,"

said Chamber of Commerce SpringFest chairperson Vicki Davis. "We also have

some excellent local and regional talent, so hopefully we have a group for

everyone in the family."

    "Music is just one part of the weekend: we also have great vendor food

booths, arts and crafts, plus all kinds of fun games," Davis added. "All of

this happens because we have such great partners and sponsors that continue

to support SpringFest. Money is tight and budgets are smaller across the

nation, but we feel so fortunate to have the number of businesses donating

that we do. This event could not happen without their support."

    The SpringFest Motorcycle Run is slated for Saturday, May 15 and riders

will participate in a 124 mile ride along East KY 92, across Highway 700 to

Cumberland Falls and back. Registration is set to begin at 10 a.m. that day

and the ride will begin at 12 Noon. Riders will be back in time to enjoy

quite a bit of the music on Saturday.

    Vendors are being encouraged to reserve their space early, as spots are

filling up quickly and are limited. For more information or to reserve a

spot visit www.heartoflakecumberlandspringfest.com or call the Chamber

office at (606) 348-3064.

    "We want and ask any local group that plans on setting up for the

weekend to make sure they do that early, so we can accommodate as many as

possible. Hopefully, everyone that can will make SpringFest part of their

weekend schedule," said Eulah Johnson, president of the Monticello-Wayne

County Chamber of Commerce.
