The Black Squirrel Festival In
London, Ontario Canada
Currently this event does not exist.
The creators of this site think this could be another tourist
draw to the city and a source of pride of some of our residents
Kent State University
has imported black squirrels from London,Ontario Canada,
and has an annual Black Squirrel Festival held each fall
at KSU featuring performers, black squirrel photo and drawing
contests, an organizations fair, crafts displays, and a
4.2 mile Black Squirrel Run. They have done this for over
21 years.
Every fall the town of Exeter has a White
Squirrel Festival promoting their white squirrels. Exeter
is about 40 minutes north on Richmond St - Highway #4 - which
runs by Victoria Park. We could turn the event into a friendly
competition between our two communities.
We would like to see an annual event modeled
after the KSU event with a Canadian twist. Listed below are
some ideas for the taking.
Held in Victoria Park
The Black Squirrels of London

Feature performers, music,
arts, etc.

If we could work in connection
with Kent, Ohio we could boost tourism between our
two cities

and promoted on victoria-park.com for FREE
This idea
is up for grabs to anyone, organization or charity
that has the vision we have!

businesses who do not see the value of the Internet. The Black
Squirrel Festival is an example of something positive we hope
to create from a web site and the Internet.
