Henderson's Tri-Fest Celebrates Its 25th Year in 2012

What started out as a fundraising opportunity for our schools, churches and non-profit organizations in the spring of 1988 has grown into one of Henderson’s largest community festivals. This year’s Breakfast Lions Club Tri-Fest will be held April 20-22 in downtown Henderson.

The event will kick off Friday, with food booths opening at 11:00 a.m. and carnival rides opening at noon. The festival continues Saturday and Sunday with carnival rides, food and live entertainment. This year’s event features music by the Owensboro Symphony Orchestra and River City Quartet, to name a few. For a complete listing of scheduled performers, please visit www.hendersontrifest.org.

The slogan of the Henderson Breakfast Lions Club is “We Serve”; the Tri-Fest is our opportunity to give back a small portion and serve the community. Over the past 17 years the club has given more than $300,000 from proceeds of the Tri-Fest. In addition many thousands of dollars have been earned by local non-profits through their food booths.

For more information or to reserve a booth, please visit www.hendersontrifest.org or call (270) 831-1527.
