Greetings...

Lauren Lercher and Charlotte Karras, Chairs

On behalf of NJDAW, Welcome to the 9th Deaf Fest:

Deaf Fest 2007- A Cultural Celebration.

Deaf Fest will be held for the second time at the Middlesex County Fairgrounds in East Brunswick, New Jersey on  September 16, 2007 with free admission, parking, entertainment, and activities for the children. 

Deaf Fest was a great success two years ago because of its location.  The fairgrounds is located in the center of the state and easily accessed by major highways.  The parking lot is right in front and in close proximity to the activities.  All events occur in a fenced-off area. 

We are looking forward to having all of you join us along with many agencies, companies and non-profit organizations as they exhibit their information and products. Come out and see old friends and make new friends in this wonderful celebration of Deaf Culture.  There will be entertainment, food vendors, exhibits and activities all day long.

The planning and preparation for Deaf Fest 2007 is truly a huge task.  We extend our thanks to the committee, volunteers and friends for continuing their hard work and contributions.  

We also want to give a special thanks to NJ Division of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for their ongoing support in providing communication access at the fest. Many thanks to Northwest Jersey Association of the Deaf (NWJAD) for sponsoring and planning Kiddie Korner at every Deaf Fest event since 1994.  

We are looking forward to seeing all of you there on September 16th from 10am to 5 pm and we know you will come away with wonderful memories.
