What you can expect at our Festival
|
As with previous years, the festival opens Friday night with a dinner
and dance. Those in attendance enjoy a delicious Italian dinner consisting
of spaghetti, meatballs, lasagna, chicken cacciatore, salad and several
delectable choices for desert prepared and served by the OSIA Fratelli Tricolore #2631 volunteers.

The Bluefield Auditorium is decorated beautifully
in red white and green. The atmosphere is festive and full of excitement as
everyone is welcomed by volunteers. The room is filled with the alluring aroma of
homemade Italian food and the conversation and laughter of friends and family.

The sounds of Italian Renaissance era trumpet music fills the air as the hungry folks fill their plates at the buffet. Once everyone polishes off their dinner it is time to work off those carbs! The Collegians take the stage and the dance floor comes alive!

It is wonderful to see young and
old and everyone in between getting their groove on! It is a marvelous
night of fun and fellowship for all. Many have attended
this event many times in the past and say that they would not miss it
under any circumstance. There are folks that come from as far away as North
Carolina! We hope that after looking at the photos you will make
this an annual event for yourself and your family!
On the
following Saturday, the fun continues with the same Italian
flavor but a slightly different atmosphere. The lights are turned up and
the facility is buzzing with families eating and visiting with one another.
Vendors present an exquisite exhibition of their wares. I was very impressed
with the workmanship and creativity on display. The prices were very reasonable
as well.

The crowd is
entertained by a variety of different acts. There is something for everyone.
Many enjoy their Italian feast at the festival, but just as many carry dinner
out for themselves and their families to enjoy at home. We guarantee that that this years
festivities will be as filled with fun and fellowship as the years before. We hope you will join
us this year!
