HERITAGE FESTIVAL

Thirty Two Years of Celebrating East Providence Culture

July is the time of year for our annual East Providence Heritage Festival, that wonderful event that celebrates various cultures and traditions of the people who make up our city.

Celebrating its 32nd year, this event is looked forward to all year round, partly because it seems to get better each year, by offering cultural representation, great food, outstanding entertainment, comfortable accommodations, local vendors, friendly people, old friends – and usually great weather!

The Heritage Festival Committee is a 17 member, mostly volunteer body of dedicated folks, who overlook every detail of this annual event to ensure yet another success.

Committee Chairman Clarence “Junior” Butler explains the process, “The Heritage Fest Committee meets each month, normally on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, beginning in August – just after the festival in July ends. We look at what we did, what we accomplished, what we didn’t accomplish, and how well it was received. At that point we start thinking about how we can improve it, and what we can do to make it better for the next year,” says Butler.

Each year the festivals’ biggest attraction and source of highest revenue come from its local and national entertainment acts, specifically the Saturday night headliners. This year the festival is proud to announce that Richard Street, lead singer of THE TEMPTATIONS will be performing on Saturday July 21, 2012 at 9:30pm.

You have to wonder how the committee manages to select the right groups to bring in. They look at the buying power of the audience, people in the 30 – 45 age bracket, because that is the festival’s primary audience. They have the most disposable income. They are the ones who give us the greatest revenue each year that sustains the festival. So, we look at music groups who will appeal to that audience. That is always a challenging task for the committee.

It is clear however, the Festival committee sees this festival as much more than just an opportunity for monetary profit. For them, the Annual E.P. Heritage Festival is a source of pride. They feel this city, this event – defines who we really are. The effort of the committee and the sponsors and the people who attend and support us does not go unnoticed. The reward for them is just in being a major part of another great festival.

The EP Heritage Festival is almost entirely self-funded. The event is self-sustaining, with no financial help from the city this year. The committee raises most of the money from year to year from sponsors. They re-invest any profit back into the organization to keep this festival going the next year.

The Heritage Fest Committee also donates to other organizations, charities, and non-profits such as the American Cancer Society, East Bay Women’s Shelter, Big Brothers Association, and this year they will be giving a portion of the proceeds to Cross Roads RI. One of the other great traditions about the Heritage Festival has always been its great pricing, and this year is no exception! A 4 day weekend pass is only $25. One needs to only look around at other festivals in this state to see the prices are very competitive!

For $25 you can come here for the whole weekend!

Heritage Festival Purpose

The East Providence Heritage Festival, founded in 1981, was conceived as a tribute to the richness and variety of the community’s ethnic and cultural heritage. To this end, the East Providence Heritage Festival Committee, in conjunction with the East Providence Parks & Recreation Department and numerous volunteers from civic, non-profit and business organizations, have joined efforts and resources for the past 31years to sponsor an annual festival honoring the values and unique customs of the myriad cultures that comprise and enhance community life.

It is the committee’s purpose and intent to create an atmosphere of understanding and pride in our respective aesthetic, intellectual and social origins and to transmit in tangible fashion a sense of that pride, knowledge and appreciation to succeeding generations.

Assistance, First Aid, Available at Festival Booth

An Information/Assistance Booth with Heritage Festival staff will be located inside the gate to the baseball field.

Staff members will have free programs available and provide information on the location of various booths or provide emergency services, including first aid.

The 2012 Festival T-shirts will be available for purchase, as will some T-shirts from past years of the festival.

Lots of Heritage Festival attention is focused on the four days of entertainment – but there’s a whole world of Festival fun on the baseball field with many food, merchandise, craft and public service booths available to visit.

Food booths include such treats as sausage and meatball sandwiches, clamcakes and chowders, doughboys, French Fries, Hawaiian Fries, pizza, ice cream, frozen ice treats, bakery goods, cotton candy, hot dogs, hamburgers, frozen lemonade and lots more.

For the craft lovers there are booths featuring many handmade items, perfect for giving now or for the holidays. Some of the region’s best craftspeople bring their wares to the Festival, including handmade jewelry.

Merchandise booths include many types of jewelry items, clothing, including the latest in T-shirt designs, sunglasses, hobby items, novelties and much more.

Specialty booths include temporary tattoos, sand art, hair bling and baseball toss.

There will also be a number of information booths as well.

The number of booths is still growing as press time for this program approached.

Just taking a look at the crowd on the baseball fields during the Saturday and Sunday night concerts proves the popularity of the booths. Pierce Stadium is filled with thousands of music fans, while the baseball field is jammed as well with people visiting all the booths.

A list of booths which had signed up as of press time can be found on pages 20 and 21.

Fraternidad Folklórica Boliviana de Rhode Island (FFBRI), is a registered non-profit organization founded in 1993 with the mission of promoting and preserving the traditions of Bolivian culture through folklore.

This group is composed of dancers of different races, nationalities, and religious beliefs who, intrigued by the magic of their beautiful Bolivian traditions, have helped keep their culture alive.

The dances and music are positive activities that entertain the youth of this community. This organization, aside from the cultural aspect, provides opportunities for their children to learn the values of respect, discipline and responsibility.

In 1992, Luis and Norma Rodriguez invited a Caporales group from Virginia to perform. These dancers were the motivation needed for Eduardo and Mireya Sandoval to start a similar dance group in Rhode Island.

With the help of other families and with the direction of Peggy Sandoval, the newly formed Rhode Island dance group was formed. These dancers established the first dance group called the “Caporales de Rhode Island” and soon they were invited to many events. FFBRI has steadily progressed thanks to the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who over the fifteen years have built the foundation on which our organization stands today

Where It's Always Sunny & Warm

Whether you are 15 or 50, one of the most enjoyable parts of the Heritage Festival is the display of classic cars. The display changes each year, but it is sure to include everything from the Model T’s of the 1920’s to the cars of the forties and fifties, complete with rumble seats and running boards, along the classic T-birds, 55, 56 and 57 Chevy’s, Mercs, maybe a studebaker or two, perhaps even a Rambler or a Hudson. Not only will you get a close-up view of these well cared for vehicles, both inside and out, you’ll be able to talk with the car’s owners, about engine size, customizing, and everything else which makes these classics so popular.

These cars are all in running condition, licensed and ready to roll. You’ll be amazed at some of the features in these great cars, and you’ll agree that “they don’t make ‘em like that any more!”

RUMBAFRICA Sunday, July 22 6 PM~Field Tent

Rumbafrica was founded in 1992

by Tshibangu Kadima, who was born in Lubumbashi in Congo. Kadima came to the U.S. originally to study Computer Engineering and graduated from Northeastern University. He introduced New England to SOUKOUS music. The Boston-based group performs music and dance combining rhythms of traditional Congolese rumba (a variant of the Cuban rumba) with the modern non-stop soukous beat.

The Tribeca Group

Saturday, July 21~8PM in the Stadium

The Tribeca Group was founded by Ron Campagnone in June of 2007. He hand picked the best two male singers from two other bands to form what is now Tribeca. These two talented singers are Chops Turner and Danny Tuirok. Ron then decided two incorporate the talent agency of Bob Saraceno Productions to be the exclusive agency for all of the band’s bookings. Bob, after hearing Tribeca, knew that this could be one of the best vocal groups that this area has ever seen. As they say, the rest is history!! Tribeca now has opened for The Temptations last September, is booked to open for the International star Julie Budd on October 13th at Rhode Island College, and now to perform at The East Providence Heritage festival with Richard Street and his Group (Original lead singer for The Temptations). Tribeca has also recorded an original song called “ A Kiss from Heaven” that was composed by a two time Grammy winner. The last piece of the puzzle was the addition of Angela Buckley by Ron Campagnone and Dan Tuirok, bringing this group to it’s current success level. Angela’s contribution vocally to the band brought this band “over the Top”. Bob Saraceno has said “ this is the only band in New England that has four lead singer”. Tribeca, now is playing 5 to 6 nights a week to “souled” out crowds, and is also available for private functions. For Bookings call: Bob Saraceno Productions 401-94-MUSIC. (401-946-8742)

Richard Street’s passion for The Temptations goes back to its origins in 1955 as a member of the Detroit doo-wop group The Distants, which included long time Temptation, Otis Williams, as well as Richard’s cousin, the late Melvin Franklin who was The Temptations legendary bass singer until his untimely death in 1995. Richard left The Distants in 1959 to form The Monitors and the other members eventually went on to record for the newly formed Motown record label as The Temptations.

But Richard always kept a hand in the band. Motown president Berry Gordy hired him in 1963 as a sort of quality control producer at the label, asking him to listen to new recordings and occasionally lend his tenor voice to sweeten a vocal track.

By 1969 The Temptations’ silky harmonies had made them the top R&B vocal group in the world with a string of pop chart toppers such as “My Girl”, “(I Know) I’m Losing You”, “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” and “Beauty’s Only Skin Deep”.

The arrival of Richard, its first member to have actually been born in Detroit, together with Dennis Edwards signaled a notable musical shift in direction and the next few years would find The Temptations tackling topics in the news -- the Vietnam War and urban poverty -- with songs such as “Take A Look Around”, “Ball Of Confusion” and the landmark “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”, which earned the group three Grammy Awards.

Richard performed many hundreds of shows with The Temptations in over 20 years as a member of the group, visited dozens of countries worldwide, and along with other members past and present, was there when the group was inducted into the Rock-nRoll Hall Of Fame in 1989. In his upcoming book, Ball Of Confusion, Richard chronicles his years with the group.

Today, Richard presents his own show, with enthusiastic vigor, which includes the legendary music of The Temptations along with other classic hit songs that document the golden years of the Motown sound.

Their hard work has thus far been rewarded with seven Gold records, one Platinum record “Fool For The City” (1975), and one Double-Platinum record “Foghat Live” (1977). The “Fool For The City” album contained Foghat’s trademark Top 40 hit song “Slow Ride” and cemented their place as one of the world’s top rock acts.

They continued to hit the charts in the 1970’s with singles such as “Fool For The City”, “Drivin’ Wheel”, “I Just Wanna Make Love To You”, “I’ll Be Standing By”, “Stone Blue”, “Third Time Lucky” and “Somebody’s Been Sleeping In My Bed”… many of which are still classic rock radio staples. continued on next page

continued from page 25 The group toured extensively doing what they love to do and do best…taking their music to the fans. The camaraderie and fun is apparent in their live performances.

The band wrote and recorded a new studio album called “Family Joules”, released in 2003 which again received great reviews. If anyone ever dared to ask if Foghat were still relevant, surely the track “Mumbo Jumbo” gave a resounding YES! The last few years has Foghat reaching a whole new generation of fans largely as a result of their incessant touring and also due to its songs appearing on such popular home video games as Guitar Hero III, numerous movies such as ‘Dazed & Confused’, ‘Wild Hogs’, ‘Bottle Shock’ and ‘Halloween II’, numerous TV shows and ads such as Honda among others.

So the live dates continue to pile up and the boogie continues. And to keep the band relevant to both old and new fans alike, 2010 brings the inclusion of a newer Foghat song “Mumbo Jumbo” in the new I-Phone application by Universal called ‘Six String’ Their latest project, a blues CD called “LAST TRAIN HOME” (release date June 15, 2010) is the culmination of a dream shared by Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave.

So with LAST TRAIN HOME Foghat comes full circle, with an offering that mixes some Foghat Blues stamped originals with many blues gems. This album is guaranteed to become a classic.

Foghat has never stopped touring and recording. The 2010 version of Foghat comprised of Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn, and Bryan Bassett has been together for 10 years. They continue to tour relentlessly because they just love to play and after every show they go out to meet their fans. They still epitomize that classic bluesrock slide guitar sound and that is what Foghat is all about.

IT’S ABOUT THE MUSIC!

Who are the Ladies of the Rolling Pin? Sunday, July 22 ~ 4PM Field Tent

The Ladies of the Rolling Pin are one of only a few women’s Border Morris dance teams. They have been stirring things up in Rhode Island, since 1998, with just the right mix of leavening and levity. They never fail to get a rise out of audiences with their wellseasoned style, energy and music.

The team has performed at weddings, fairs and festivals, including the New England Folk Festival (NEFFA), Providence Waterfire, First Night Providence, Meadowbrook Waldorf Holiday Faire, Twelfth Night Peasants’ Feast, and the South County Hot Air Balloon Festival.

A morris dance is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers. Implements such as sticks, swords, handkerchiefs and in this case rolling pins may also be wielded by the dancers.

Stop your loafin’, get off your buns and go see the Ladies of the Rolling Pin. Forget ‘flower power.’ These wild women have ‘flour power’. Don’t miss ‘em. says Musical Baker’s Monthly.

Morris dancing from the Cotswolds in southwest England was traditionally done during the springtime to awaken the sleeping earth from its winter slumber. In the Welsh border area, Morris dancing traditionally happened around Christmas time and the dancers would raise a substantial amount of extra money by passing a hat. In many cases, this made the difference between a good Christmas and a poor one.

Those attending the Heritage Festival are reminded that no coolers or containers are allowed on the festival grounds.

Rumford Lions Clamcakes & Chowder A Yearly Tradition

There’s nothing more “Rhode Island” than Clam Cakes and Chowder, and nothing more traditional at the East Providence Heritage Festival, then the Rumford Lions Club booth serving that popular treat.

The club has been at every festival since 1981, serving its homemade chowder and clam cakes. This year the club will again return to its location inside the baseball field, leading off the food booths.

The Rumford Lions are a Heritage Festival favorite, too, back each year, not only with good food, but lots of fun as many members, familiar faces in the community, chat with passersby. The booth features the club’s special recipe for New England clam chowder and clam cakes.

Lions Club members staff the booth for the four days of the festival, making the chowder and mixing batter throughout the day.

The club has helped thousands of East Providence residents over the years through its many charities, as well as people all over the world with Lions Club programs in providing free glasses and eye care.

Locally the club presents scholarships annually to deserving students in the community as another charitable effort.
