The annual event works hard to bring people from in and out of the community together for a day of fun and frolic activities at the Woodburn Community Park. The first night was trivia and the beer tent.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Saturday morning the Lions Club was out selling their famous donuts bright and early. The parade started with local businesses and organizations handing out candy along with the famous Woodburn Fire Department and the fabulous Woodlan Marching Band. After the parade numerous organizations were setup in the park building and the Woodburn Christian Children\u2019s Home was selling snow cones as the fundraiser. Feders and other food vendors were setup along the road. The Historical Society had a great event with people bringing in their historical artifacts and showing them off to each other at the Woodburn Community Center. They had old Woodburn Booster Newspapers there with very interesting history of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Two Bands played this year &#8211; The Joel Young Band &#8211; and Plan B both rocked the stage inside the main tent.<\/p>\n<p>It was another great year for the Summerfest at Woodburn!<\/p>\n<p>Ticket Winners (1st Place) $ 1500 CASH -Gina Philipot,, Antwerp, OH &#8211; sponsor is WCA<\/p>\n<p>(2nd Place) Cedar Point Getaway-Tania Walters,\u00a0 Hicksville, OH &#8211; sponsor is Dooley Funeral Home<\/p>\n<p>(3rd Place) 3 Burner Weber Grill &#8211; Christine\u00a0 Van Pelt,\u00a0 Auburn,IN &#8211; sponsor is Bridge Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>(4th Place) 55\u201d Samsung TV &#8211; Melissa Huffman, Ft Wayne, IN &#8211; sponsor is Heckley Outdoor Power<\/p>\n<p>(5th Place) $250 Marathon Gas Card- Laurie Miller,\u00a0 Woodburn &#8211; sponsor is U.S.W.A.
