The 2011 Shad Derby Festival was a great success. We added two new events, upgraded our website, welcomed the Exchange Club as a new Shad Derby Bureau member, increased the number of volunteers.
We want to thank all our sponsors for their generous donations without which the festivities would not have been possible. The proceeds from the Shad Derby events go back into the community through scholarships, senior assistance programs, food and fuel assistance etc. We want to especially thank Birch Meadow Banquet Facility, Konica Minolta and Windsor Federal Savings. All our 2011 donors are currently listed on the sponsor link.
We also would like to thank the dozens of volunteers who worked hard to continue this long-standing Windsor tradition. Thank you to:
- Members of the Shad Derby Festival Committee and the Shad Fest Bureau.
- Windsor Exchange Club for sponsoring one of new events, The Hooker Brewery Benefit for Windsor
- Windsor FreeMasons for sponsoring the other new event, the Masonic LobsterFest
- Junior Woman's Club for sponsoring the Shad Derby Coronation Ball and the Shad Wreck dance
- Windsor Rod and Gun Club for continuing the long tradition of the Shad Derby Fishing tournament
- Windsor Lions Club for sponsoring the Spring Arts and Crafts Festival
- Windsor Kiwanis for sponsoring the annual Shad Derby Road Race
- Windsor Civitans for providing the float for the Shad Derby Queen and her court during the parade
- Windsor Jaycees for sponsoring the always popular parade and festival on the green and the 30th annual Sheila Schmidt Fishing event.
We look forward to another successful Shad Derby Festival in 2012.
