Yale Area Chamber of Commerce, Yale Michigan, Home of the Yale Bologna Festival

Recently our little town of "Bolognaville" hosted nearly 30,000 visitors during our three day 22nd annual Yale Bologna Festival. We had a wonderful time and one of the best festivals yet. Despite the heat the visitors kept coming and coming, and everyone enjoyed their share of Yale Bologna under the big tent! It was truly a great experience and so many smiles were seen and such a good time was had that you'll be glad to know we'll be back in 2011!

I would like to congratulate the entire town of Yale for a job well done throughout the festival. We have 100's of volunteers that joined hand in hand to make our little town look great and provide our visitors with enjoyment and laughter all three days. I couldn't be prouder of you all - my sincere thanks to our Chamber of Commerce Board, Loyal Sponsors and all Volunteers. You truly personify the very best that Michigan, and the USA, have to offer!

The entertainment, fireworks and parade music was provided for you only through the generous support of our local sponsors. Please take the time to read their names and make sure to shop locally and support them throughout the year. That is the only way they can, in turn, give you a great summer weekend to remember forever.

The Chamber is always looking for new helping hands to give encouragement, work time and support during the festival. There are all kinds of jobs, big and small, that we would be happy to receive help with. If you would like to be a part of one of the greatest festivals in the state, just give our Secretary Kellie a call at the Chamber office and we'll sign you up for next year!

Again, thank you all for coming home again to enjoy what the Chamber and our many vendors and partners had to offer at Bologna Festival 2010. We hope to see you again very soon right here in Yale, where we are all "Full of Bologna and Proud of It!"
