Cornwall - Jul. 6, 2011 - Lamoureux Park will definitely be "rockin" during the 15th Annual Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off hot air balloon and waterfront festival. Over the past few years, Lift-Off has become the "can't miss" event for Cornwall and region, looked forward to with great anticipation.
"Every year, we strive to surpass the previous year", said Festival Chair Judi Auger. "The Festival Board has once again worked extremely hard to bring great entertainment to the Lift-Off stage, and plenty of activity to Lamoureux Park throughout the day. The addition of the Seniors Bingo, The Minute To Win It contest, and the creation of the Family Zone, will certainly add to the family atmosphere of the festival."
The Final Schedule for the Lift Off Stage will certainly appeal to a wide range of tastes in music, and all promise to be great entertainment.
