Festival
Theme: Country/Western
It’s Popcorn Festival time, another year rolls
around.
This week-end in August, let’s be Van Buren bound!!
Bob and Helen Fincannon, our Parade Marshals this year.
Twenty one years of service, we’ll all stand and cheer!!
“Country Line Dancin’s” the theme. It’s the latest craze.
Everyone can do it, you’ll be amazed.
So, whether it’s the “Boot Boogie” or you like that “Crawl”
Just having fun together, we’ll all have a ball!!
Have a steak from the grill, or a hot dog on a stick.
Try an Elephant’s Ear, now that’s really a trick!!!
There’s enjoyment for all, and entertainment that can’t be beat.
The Van Buren Popcorn Festival is a treat you’re sure to repeat!!!!!
