President’s Message
To the Founders Community,
We find ourselves on the edge of another festival year. We have been through a lot in
the last two years. These times have presented themselves hard times not only for our
community but for the Founders family itself. We continue on and volunteer to provide
the best time we can. Founders each year relies on the previous years festival and on the
sponsors that sponsor the fest.
I am asking you this year in this message to please come down to the fest and help
support us. We are not charging at the gate again which has been well received by you.
We do however ask that if you have an extra $5 that you drop it in the jar at the door. We
hope that through this charitable gift we can build the fest even bigger.
Please remember to have a good time. Enjoy the fest. Thank a volunteer. We always have
room for you to help as well.
Thank You,
Dan Barton, President Algonquin Founders’ Days

FOUNDERS’ DAYS CELEBRATES
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
On Saturday, July 30th at 11:00 a.m., Founders’ Days are hosting their 59th
annual parade with our FOUNDERS’ DAYS CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS IN JULY
PARADE as part of the Founders’ Days celebration. The goal of the parade
is to show off the best of the best and celebrate how the Algonquin and
surrounding communities are shaped by those who are a part of it — from its
social organizations to its businesses; from its local leaders to its Fire, Police,
and other village entities.
