-Whew! The historic and annual Cornfest is over and the hard work of the Cornfest Committee paid off. Historically the Cornfests, began in the early 80s, were held in August on Thursdays from 4 pm to 8 pm in Phillips Park. They were moved to Saturdays from noon to 8 pm and to the football field in the early 90s to take advantage of the lighting. The last Cornfest on the field was held in 2008 and was cancelled in 2009.  The 2010 Community Cornfest was returned to our Phillips Park setting among the shady trees and expanded to include our neighbors Overbrook and Bon Air or "COB."  Although the weather was in the 90s, our trees provided shade and breezes and most vendors liked being outdoors for the whole day. The food, the participants and the entertainment was great. From surveys of the participants they can't wait until next year. Thank you to all our participants and attendees who made the whole day a wonderful outdoor festival which will be repeated in the years to come.

-As part of the advertising for the Cornfest you may have seen and taken home the historical postcards inviting you to our event. They apparently did their job as intended since people remembered the invitations and attendance was fantastic. While distributing the historical themed cards many people wanted to purchase them and were surprised to learn they were free invitations. Because of that demand The Carrick Overbrook Historical Society has produced 17 different historic and collectible postcards for sale at 50 cents each. In addition we have also a collectible 2011 Carrick Overbrook Calendar depicting 13 historic scenes from both our neighborhoods at a low price of $7.50. Both the postcards and calendars can be purchased at the Carrick Carnegie Library. Proceeds fund our production of framed photos that you can see at the library, website fees, community historical events, and future historical markers and cards of both neighborhoods. Attached is the front cover of our calendar and we are sure you will enjoy our monthly historic photos and send our postcards and calendars to your friends around the nation.The calendars make great gifts by the way!

 The Community [[Cornfest]] was a huge success in Carrick’s Phillips Park on Saturday, Aug. 21 from noon to 8 p.m.
@@ Line 29: / Line 28: @@
 The name "Community Cornfest" was chosen this year because the neighborhoods of Carrick, Overbrook and Bon Air, "COB," have joined to make this one of the best late summer festivals in the southern neighborhoods. Started in the late 1970s, the Cornfest has been a late summer tradition celebrating local communities, schools and institutions.
-The Community [[Cornfest]] will be held mostly within the park’s facilities and has commitments from more than 40 groups including the Carrick Library, faith based institutions, school organizations, senior citizen groups, city organizations and many more. Topping the list of attractions is the Carrick Library Appraisal Fair which will appraise family jewels and keepsakes. Proceeds will benefit the Carrick Library.

-The Cornfest committee continues to accept any and all nonprofit groups and individuals to this event.

+Eight full hours of entertainment gave all participants something different for each hour beginning with the traditional opening ceremonies by the award winning Pittsburgh Carrick High School Band at noon. The Cornfest Committee said, "You’ll want to come for the great food and interesting crafts, but you’ll want to stay all day just for the entertainment" and they weren't wrong.
