| 2010 Grand Marshal's Announced |
| 2010 Poster Winner Announced |
Fall Festival Chairman John Clavio announced the 2010 Parade Grand Marshal's.
This years honor was bestowed upon Brian Stevens and Dave Vanderlaan.
"If you think about what the Olympics is all about, about overcoming challenges that we
face in life and being a true team player, these two (grand marshal's) embody that
concept," stated Clavio. "They are valuable members of the community. They don't
think they are role models, but they are huge role models to me."
Despite their disabilities, both Stevens and Vanderlaan work at Frankfort's Jewel Food
store, and have been "behind the scenes guys, who are always there" for chamber
events, Clavio said.

The Frankfort Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Lincoln-Way High Schools
District 210 sponsored a poster contest for the 2010 Frankfort Fall Festival.
Over 40 entries were submitted from all four Lincoln-Way schools in the Fall Festival
Theme "Share the Spirit".
The winning entry was announced at the Chambers June Membership Meeting. The
winning design was submitted by Lincoln-Way North student Cara Conrad. Cara's entry
of a dancing person in Olympic colors with black background will grace the cover of
the Fall Festivals Brochures as well as collectible posters and tote bags.
The chamber began the poster contest last year as a way of involving students in the
event. Cara said all members of her high school art class submitted entries.
Cara will join the U.S Navy in January and plans to pursue nuclear engineering.
