	[All day event] Ellis Riverfest Description: Get Your Motor Runnin', Head out on the Highway, Lookin' for adventure---in Ellis, Kansas!! That's right, the 2010 version of Riverfest is rollin' into town on June 12, 2010! Get Your Motor Runnin' is our theme this year and I can't wait to get to June. Riverfest is our annual cut loose, good time before the dog days ...of summer begin to take hold of our little part of the world. Join us on June 12, 2010 where vendors from all over converge on Ellis to temp your tummies with all kinds of food from Buffalo Burgers to German Sausage and Kraut. Other vendors display and sell their goods and crafts or serve up the best hand-made, genuine lemon-aid! Don't fret, you'll be able to find something to whet your whistle so you can sing along with the good old songs!! You won't want to miss this year's parade. If it gets your motor runnin', we want to see it in the parade. Whether it's the old Johnny Popper Tractor, the Hot Mustangs from the 50's or the good old '57 Chevy, we want to see it! Dust off the old Hoopie, hang the fuzzy dice from the rear-view and come to Ellis to show her off. With the addition of the car show this year, there should be enough chrome to blind a person! The evening entertainment will be provided by Flat Spin, a great band from Hays, KS. They play the good older Rock & Roll. There will be something for everyone this year. You say you like a good golf challenge? Have we got a challenge for you. How about a "Hole in 1 across the Creek"? More details will follow as they get ironed out. Call the Chamber office at 785-726-2660 for info on how to get in the car show, become a vendor or just for the who-its and whats-it questions. We got the answers! You can also find sign-up forms on our webpage for the car show and vendor reservations. See you all at the Chrysler Parks!
