Celebrate Munford, Inc. is a non-profit group of citizens from the community, not only from the City of Munford, but also from the surrounding areas as well. All money raised by this organization is returned to the community through its programs, events, and scholarships.
The President of Celebrate Munford for 2002 is Diane Williams. You may reach her by e-mail at ROSE3DEE@aol.com or by calling 837-6261. The Committee is always looking for people who may be interested in joining this small, but effective group and would be enthusiastic about leading the event into new endeavors and achievements for the community.
This organization sponsors special events for the public to enjoy each year. For the past fifteen years, Celebrate Munford has sponsored the Munford Arts & Crafts Fair in September. The fair is a day-long event that is held in the downtown area of Munford and features vending areas for local artists to sell and show off their works. It also features two entertainment stages, one full of gospel music and the other with a multitude of talent in areas of music and dance. This event is held on the second Saturday of September each year. Vendors are encouraged to attend and sign up for a booth space for a nominal fee based on what the vendor is offering for sale or advertisement. Celebrate Munford also sponsors a spectacular event in July called Celebrate Independence. During this evening show, the public is invited to bring a family style picnic on the grounds at the Munford City Park on College Street and enjoy the music of the United States Navy Band. Then, during the finale of the band's performance a spectacular display of fireworks which can be seen for miles around is enjoyed by all. This event takes place every 4th of July.
The Celebrate Munford group also is proud to sponsor three Munford High School Seniors during their first year at College. The Munford Scholarship Fund provides $1,500 to three seniors who complete a comprehensive application and interview process each year. The scholarships are designed to assist students who can show a financial need and plan to attend college somewhere in the State of Tennessee.
