2026 Spring Fest in the Burg

 Scouts and Parents,

It is time to start planning for the Spring Fest in the Burg Fundraiser.

What is the Spring Fest in the Burg Festival?

Spring Fest in the Burg is being held in Riverfront Park in Miamisburg May 15-17, 2026

Spring Fest in the Burg is a non-profit community arts festival held in Miamisburg that raises money to give back to the community! In the past years, the festival has raised enough money to support many local causes such as the Miamisburg Community Foundation, Acoustapalooza, the Miamisburg Kindness Rocks Garden, the Dugout Club, and the Oregon District Relief Fund.

The festival starts on Friday night May 15th at 5 pm. Friday night will feature live music, Funtime Carnival, carnival food, and a beer garden.

Saturday, May 16th starts with the largest parade Miamisburg holds all year at 9:30 am. The festival follows from 10 am - 9 pm and will be alive with over 150 artisan crafters, free activities in the Kids Zone, Funtime Carnival, a full food court, amazing chalk artists, and fun for the whole family all day long. There will also be live music and entertainment all day. Sunday has everything Saturday has to offer from noon until 6 pm.

How is Troop 103 involved?

Troop 103 has a concession booth at the Spring Fest in the Burg where we prepare and sell: Cheeseburgers, Hot Dogs, Country Sausage Sandwiches, Cans of Soda and Bottles of Water.

How can you help?

Soon you will be receiving an email with a link to a Sign-up Form to volunteer for 2-hour shifts of working in the booth. We will need both Scouts AND Parents to signup for participation. There are some positions that require an Adult.

When is the Spring Fest in the Burg Festival?

May 15 - 17, 2026 (Friday - Sunday)

The Spring Fest in the Burg is one of Troop 103's biggest fundraisers in which Scouts can earn money for their Scout Accounts.

Adults - We will be looking for some booth managers again this year. Please contact me directly if you are interested in helping to manage the booth during the weekend.

Any other questions, please let me know.

YIS,
Mr. Doug Mize

Spring Flower Sales - February 9 - March 2, 2026

Spring Flower Sale

Why: Selling flowers helps raise money for scouts to attend summer camp, weekend camping, and dues. Individual selling profits go into your scout account.

How: Contact family, friends, and neighbors and tell them that you are able to provide beautiful, quality flowers for them. The flowers are purchased from Furst Florist and arrive the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend and make great gifts.

Selling/Ordering

• Selling dates: February 9th - March 2nd, 2026
• Please submit orders to Mrs. Burchett on March 2nd at the start of the Scout Meeting.
• All orders AND money are due on or before Monday, March 2, 2026 to Mrs. Burchett. She will attend the troop meeting that evening.

Delivering the Flowers

• Flowers will be delivered to St. James parking lot on Saturday, May 9th, around 9:30 am. Scouts should plan to pick up their orders between 10:30am -11:00 am. We will have a drive through pickup on the east side of the parking lot. More information to follow. (Try to make sure you are able to fit all the flowers in your vehicle.)
