livermore Riverfest

(This annual event which began in 2007, was sponsored by the City of Livermore to raise funds for the Riverfront Recreation Complex which includes a public skate park, tennis courts, and a Playground for youngsters.  

The Riverfest featured a Cruise-In, food booths, Arts & Crafts vendors, barrel rides, bouncy toys, games, and live music entertainment.

The first 50 to register for the Cruise-In received a collector dash plaque, a 'goody' bag plus a ticket for door prize drawings. Awards included the "Mayor's Choice Award" and the "Peoples' Choice Award" which were typically awarded at the conclusion of the event.

In 2015, this event evolved into the Livermore Fall Festival.

Rain forced the cancellation of the 5th Annual Riverfest (September 24, 2011) - "This year Mother Nature won", Livermore mayor Sonny Renfrow said. The cancellation was disappointing to everyone, but he and the other organizers felt that it was the best decision, considering the situation. "It's the first time in five years we've had to pull the plug." Once the decision to cancel had been made, organizers contacted several media outlets to spread the word of the cancellation. A few cars still showed up for the Fest and they were treated to food cooked by Team Sippin' and Dippin', a local barbecue and burgoo vendor who had started cooking at 10 PM the night before the Riverfest and was still on-site despite the bad weather and cancellation.  The Riverfest committee is extremely grateful to all the sponsors, volunteers and other supporters who were involved with the Riverfest.

Please click the 2011 link below for photos taken in the rain of those car enthusiasts who made the trip, unaware of the cancellation:

Christmas for Kids

This annual event is typically held the second Saturday of December and is sponsored by a variety of McLean County organizations, including the Family Resource and Youth Service Center (and all its subsidiaries) and the Ministerial Association. Christmas for Kids, which is in its 16th year, is a spin off of the county's previous holiday help efforts, such as Toys for Tots.

Parents who cannot afford to provide gifts and a Christmas meal to their families can come to Livermore City Hall during Christmas for Kids to do their holiday "shopping" - there are booths set up with gifts appropriate to all age groups from birth to 19 years. Each participant also gets the requirements for a special holiday meal and there are also booths for stocking stuffers and booths to wrap gifts. All items are completely free.

Event organizer Susie Vandiver explains that the event serves 200 to 250 families (about 500 children) each year. She states that this is a collaborative effort and she is grateful for the community's assistance with this event. Most booths are arranged by age group. There is also usually a booth for books and one for games, as well as a table with winter wear, such as gloves, mittens and hats. The participating organizations collect donations all year and when the holiday season hits, volunteers go shopping for gifts for each age group.

High-school age volunteers help families visit booths to choose items and cart the items out to the participating families' cars. Families can pre-register to attend Christmas for Kids or they can register on the day of the event. Pre-registration locations include: 

Parents are asked not to bring children to the event so that the gifts will be a surprise when opened on Christmas morning. For more information about Christmas for Kids, to volunteer or to pre-register, contact Susie Vandiver at the Family Resource Center at 278-273-0065.
