Our three-day extravaganza of fun, food, and entertainment has become the unofficial kick-off event heralding the summer season in Branford. The middle of June brings us the end of the school year, Flag Day, Father’s Day, and for 26 years, the Branford Festival. The success of an event of this magnitude would not be possible without the support of so many in our community. Our corporate sponsors provide the financial means not only for the topnotch entertainment but for the extensive, behindthe-scenes operations. Please notice their banners that adorn the Town Hall and the flagpoles on Main Street. Thank you, corporate sponsors. The festival also benefits from the donations of hundreds of Branford’s citizens. Thank you to those who have donated for the first time as well as those who continue to support us year after year. I cannot say enough about the dedicated group of volunteers who work on our committee. They are a diverse group of individuals that functions as a well-oiled machine. Each brings his or her own unique skills and talents; their only reward is seeing the good people of Branford enjoy themselves at the Branford Festival. I am honored to work with all of them. Thank you, committee members. Without our volunteers, this festival could not happen. Everything that you do, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is a task that needs to be done. Your help is an integral part of the success of the Branford Festival. Thank you, volunteers. Friday night, our food tents and entertainment kick off at 5 p.m. You can enjoy a meal that you didn’t have to cook at home and listen to the music of the Governor’s Foot Guard and the Branford Town Band. Next, the Branford High School Concert Choir (fresh off its extended stay in Italy) will entertain you under the direction of Cathyann Roding. Article 19 will keep the music flowing till Vonda Shepard takes the stage. On Saturday morning, be sure to arrive bright and early for breakfast on the Green and be one of the first to walk through the Branford Chamber of Commerce’s Craft & Business Expo. The expo runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We will have entertainment during the day, both behind Town Hall and on Main Street. Be sure to bring the children as our kids’ activity area will once again have plenty of rides to keep them happy. We have a great lineup for Saturday night, so bring your blankets and chairs, visit your favorite food vendors, and settle in. The music starts at 5:15 p.m. with King for a Day. The Father of the Year contest winner will be announced at 6:15 p.m. Souled Out will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. and is sure to get the crowd warmed up for our closing act. I have been patiently waiting three years to hear Fleetwood Mix (a Fleetwood Mac tribute band) and, weather permitting, at 8:45 p.m. I will. I hope that you enjoy the music of Fleetwood Mac as much as I do. Sunday morning, let me begin by saying, “Happy Father’s Day.” The Branford Road Race starts with registration and packet pickup at 8:30 a.m. The health walk begins at 10:05 a.m., followed by the five-mile race at 10:15 a.m. and the fun run at 11:30 a.m. The five-mile race will bring the runners through scenic Indian Neck, Hotchkiss Grove, and Pine Orchard before returning them to the Town Green. Sunday is not just for runners. The Rotary Club has its annual pancake breakfast and the Classic Car Show is back as well as the annual baking contest. Entertainment on the Main Stage starts at 10:30 a.m. with Two Hours from Broadway. They will be followed at 11:15 a.m. by the White-Eyed Lizard Band, at 12:30 p.m. Adam and the Waxman will take the stage, and at 2 p.m. Hitlist will play. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Branford Festival. Thank you, visitors and citizens of Branford. There is nothing more worthwhile as a committee member than to look out from the stage and see all of you having a great time. This is why we do it. Enjoy the 26th annual Branford Festival.

The Second Company, Governor’s Foot Guard is one of the oldest military organizations in existence with uninterrupted service since March 1775. It was organized in New Haven, chartered by the General Assembly of the then Colony of Connecticut, and led into battle by its first commandant, Captain Benedict Arnold. Today, in its 235th year of continuous service and now based in Branford, the Second Company is part of the Connecticut State Militia. Its members dedicate their time and talents to the governor and people of the state of Connecticut by participating in various events and performing community service projects, all without pay or other financial assistance. In 2009 its members contributed more than 48,000 volunteer hours at weekly drills, various patriotic events, band concerts, parades, fife and drum musters, color guards, veteran support functions, and educational details. The unit is commanded by Major Peter D. Laffin of Hamden. For more information or to make a donation, visit www.footguard.org. Summer Day Fun!

All of the members have been active performers with previous and very successful bands, coming together to merge sounds and create a unique blend of pop/rock fused with heavy influences of groove and funk. Three of the members, Rick Fritsch (rhythm guitar/keyboard), Doug Parkinson (bass), and Jim Townsend (drums), have been performing together since 2007. In 2008, Brett Wilson joined Article 19 as lead vocalist. Dan Fortin was added as lead guitarist in 2010. Their talents together named Article 19 “Best New Group” as well as “Best Pop/Rock Band” in the 2008 Hartford Advocate Grand Band Slam. Reclaiming the title of “Best Pop/Rock Band” in the 2009 Hartford Advocate Grand Band Slam, Article 19 was also named “Best Band” by its readers. Each band member has won numerous awards in their respective categories over the years as well. Article 19 has performed at some of the Northeast’s most premium venues including: Mohegan Sun Wolf Den, XL Center, Toad’s Place, Kenny’s Castaways, the Webster Theater, and Six Flags parks. The band has also shared the stage with national acts such as Hanson, Ryan Cabrera, N.E.R.D., We the Kings, Boys Like Girls, Flo Rida, The Veronicas, Streetlight Manifesto, Big D. and the Kids Table, O.A.R., Kris Allen, and Lady Gaga. Throughout their energetic live performances they are able to maintain musical integrity and clarity while combining many styles of music.
