Thanks to the hundreds if not thousands of attenders of the First Annual Harwich Music Festival.
As we get access to the thousands of images we will share them with you here on this blog.
Here are a few!
With the hundreds of comments and positive feed back we want to every improve our beloved community. Thanks to our new community Radio Station WFMR FM 91.3 of your dial and always available on line at http://womr.org/
We need to build up our community support for this event for next year. But first let us all pause and take some time to thank each and every one of our planners and workers and volunteers. We could not have done any of this without the direct and dedicated hours from The Harwich Cranberry Festival Committee, and The Harwich Music Festival Committee.
But we see we WILL NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS NEXT YEAR! We will need a massive and concerted effort from both Cape Cod Technical High School, Harwich and Chatham High Schools to earn community service credits, as well applying the principle of Cape Cod TimeBank of paying it forward.
We start this year buy planning a "community pot luck dinner" at a location to be announced soon in October! Who wants to host this event? Please let us know.
Thanks,
John Bangert & Ed Mc Manus for the committee.

HARWICH —
This could be the start of something big.
The first folk music festival the town has ever seen is about to come to life in Harwich Center this weekend, and to its organizers the event is much more than just a good time. It’s a turnaround, an about-face, from the traditional carnival that for years was the hallmark of the Harwich Cranberry Festival.
That was a place, constructed on the high school fairgrounds, created by out-of-towners. It was field rented by a bunch of people nobody knew, and with kiddie rides and cotton
But now, the launch of a locally sponsored and organized musical festival and craft show promises to bring Lower Cape residents in touch with their friends and neighbors – and to provide a unique venue for local musicians, who will gather at the hollow behind Brooks Park and jam for nigh on two days.
So this program is all about the local people, and we think that deserves a round of applause. Particularly noteworthy are the efforts of the staff of WOMR, which is sponsoring the Saturday jam, and the hard work by cranberry festival volunteers, who have arranged for the Sunday
Two organizers who took the lead in bringing this event together, John Bangert and Ed McManus, deserve a lot of credit for their vision – it was they who “discovered” the old hollow behind the bandstand and recognized it as a perfect natural amphitheater.
Now all that’s to be done is to hope for good weather, so we can all make our way to the hollow and hear some terrific music.
Congratulations to all of the organizers. We hope this will become a successful annual event.
