TOWN FAIR TIRE & ANNLYNNE CARLSON
HONORED AT 20th EAST HAVEN FALL FESTIVAL
Mary Cacace, President of the East Haven Chamber of Commerce and Michael Albis, President of East Haven Fall Festival, Inc. have jointly announced that Town Fair Tire and AnnLynne Carlson will be honored at this year’s 20th annual Fall Festival, which takes place September 9, 10 & 11th on the East Haven Town Green.
Town Fair Tire has been a major entertainment sponsor of the Fall Festival for over ten years. Following the lead of David McDermott Auto in 1998, Town Fair Tire’s participation enabled the committee to bring additional national acts to be featured each Friday night of the Festival. These included: "The Rascals", Shirley Alston Reeves (lead singer of the Shirelles), The Tokens, The Shangri–las, Kenny Vance & The Planotones, The Dubs and Hall of Famer, John Sebastian (formerly of the Lovin’ Spoonful), to name just a few. The East Haven Fall Festival will honor Town Fair with an award ceremony prior to the introduction of the Saturday night feature act.
The East Haven Chamber of Commerce will be honoring AnnLynne Carlson at the Chamber’s annual Sunday morning breakfast, which is taking place on the Town Green. Ms. Carlson, a member of both the Chamber of Commerce and The Fall Festival Planning Committee passed away suddenly in June of this year. In her capacity with the Chamber, Ann helped to coordinate and expand the Town’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony on the East Haven Green, to a full day of fun and activities for the East Haven community.
In addition to the Chamber’s recognition, The Fall Festival Planning Committee has dedicated this year’s Festival to the memory of AnnLynne Carlson. AnnLynne was a dedicated member of the committee for many years, coordinating the Crafts section and working tirelessly to make the Festival a source of enjoyment and pride for the entire community.
Anyone wishing to attend the Chamber breakfast should contact their office at (203) 467–4305.
