The Frost Festival 2018
Celebrating our 19th AnniversaryFebruary 9th - 11th
The Frost Festival Association
The Frost Festival Association was formed over nineteen years ago with one mission: to provide the Town of Derry and its residents with a day filled with fun and free winter activities that all can enjoy. The Committee relies upon the generosity of its local contributors to fundraise in order to offer the numerous activities & events that seem to expand with each passing year.
The Frost Festival Committee would like to thank in advance all of its supporters who have and continue to donate and/or volunteer to make this event a success!
For detailed information, please contact the Parks & Recreation Office at 432-6136
Willy Wonka Bars Special Event & Fundraiser
Most of our sponsoring businesses will have "This Is My Derry 'Wonka' bars" for purchase. You may purchase ONE Wonka bar for $1 with a purchase from that business, per visit/day/guest. The Wonka sales are cash-only, and all proceeds from the Wonka bar purchase will be donated towards The Upper Room! There are 500 total bars, and of those, there will be FIVE with a golden ticket inside with a number on it. On the night of the movie, we will draw one of those numbers and our GOLDEN TICKET winner will win the "Willy Wonka" prize - details coming soon. The remaining 495 tickets will all have a regular ticket with a number on it. There will be a drawing for a handful of those ticket holders on the movie night for mini-prizes (so every Wonka bar has the potential to win).
We'll be handing out posters and "This Is My Derry Wonka Bars" soon at our sponsoring businesses... receipt collect- ing and wonka purchases begin January 14th! We'd en- courage you to share your photos in front of your favorite small business where you grab your receipts/wonka bar!
