Hope Heritage Days


The 41st Annual Hope Heritage Days appears to be a big hit among locals and visitors (like us!) alike. There's no denying just looking at that long line of traffic.





Hey Cim, you look kinda lost. Well, I don't blame you, the countless food stands is enough to make anyone lose concentration. With so many things going on, we didn't know where to start. For all we know, the fun was just about to get even better!



Cim got all ballistic as she saw Elvis once again. Geez, Elvis does go around a lot does he? .... Before, he was at the Memphis BBQ, and now, here at Hope Heritage Days.


The event was very family-oriented. The kids were especially enjoying the party in the playground as much as the adults were feasting over the food while listening to the band. The spirit of the people from Hope radiates immensely that it got to us. We were just so into the moment that we let ourselves go and be carefree... and what could be more carefree-like than jumping in midair?!!.... or least that was what we were trying to do. =)





Woohoo! We finally got our feet off the ground. Not that perfect, but it will do. The people behind us had enough entertainment already!!!




We join the rest of the Hope community in honoring Don Dillman, who has led the festival for more than 30 years. He died April 2008 and this year's Hope Heritage is a tribute in celebration of his lifetime commitment to the growth and future of this city.


"Heritage Days inevitably reflects back on the history of Hope and the area. Among the parade, crafts, music and food, there is an undercurrent that pulls our thoughts back to earlier years and previous generations."
