CITYFEST CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY<br />
This year’s <strong>City</strong>Fest<br />
marks the 10th annual installment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the city’s music festival,<br />
and with the ongoing<br />
success <strong>of</strong> the event, it seems<br />
well on its way to ten more.<br />
<strong>City</strong>Fest was originally<br />
created in 2003 to celebrate<br />
<strong>Alabaster</strong>’s 50th birthday.<br />
Since then it’s grown into one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the area’s most popular<br />
events, drawing huge attendance<br />
numbers and nationally-renowned<br />
musical acts.<br />
Last year, it drew an estimated<br />
60,000 people to Municipal<br />
Park.<br />
"It is hard to believe that<br />
the festival has grown like it<br />
has,” said Adam Moseley, the<br />
president <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Alabaster</strong><br />
Arts Council, the group that<br />
produces <strong>City</strong>Fest.<br />
According to Moseley, the<br />
event’s success is attributable<br />
to the many people and spon-<br />
sors who invest their time<br />
and money into the event.<br />
“It could not have happened<br />
without the small<br />
group <strong>of</strong> organizers on the<br />
Arts Council that spend<br />
hundreds <strong>of</strong> hours each<br />
year to plan this event and<br />
the hundreds <strong>of</strong> volunteers<br />
that make it happen,” said<br />
Moseley. “In addition, it has<br />
grown like it has thanks to<br />
our wonderful sponsors<br />
that put their investment<br />
into this community.<br />
Without them, we would<br />
not be here.”<br />
Over the years, the<br />
<strong>City</strong>Fest lineup has featured<br />
everything from popular<br />
country to modern rock and<br />
everything in between. A<br />
few <strong>of</strong> the more memorable<br />
acts have included the<br />
Fabulous Thunderbirds<br />
(2004), Foghat (2006), the<br />
Whiten Your Teeth and<br />
Help a Child<br />
From March until <strong>June</strong>, we are <strong>of</strong>fering teeth<br />
whitening services at a reduced<br />
price through Smiles for Life Foundation<br />
100% <strong>of</strong> the teeth whitening<br />
proceeds go directly to children’s<br />
charities. 50 percent <strong>of</strong> that payment<br />
will be given to Camp Smile A Mile<br />
www.campsam.org which is a<br />
non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization in Alabama<br />
for children who have or have had<br />
cancer. Year round programs are<br />
provided for the campers and their<br />
family at no cost. The remainder is<br />
given to a children’s charity<br />
approved by Smiles for Life<br />
Foundation. Everybody wins!<br />
Smiles for Life is a children’s charity organization set up through members <strong>of</strong> the Crown Council,<br />
a prestigious alliance <strong>of</strong> leading-edge dentists around the world who are strongly committed to<br />
excellence in their fields.<br />
