The Kitchell Park Popcorn Festival proved itself popular in it’s first year last Summer, and the Pana Parks Revitalization Committee has plans and changes for improvement in 2025. From pageants to parking, the PPRC is looking to make their 2nd Annual Popcorn Festival even better. Featured again this year will be a 5K, ‘Dog Show,’ volleyball tournament, and more, with additions like a 3 on 3 basketball tournament and paddleboat races.

Nicole Blodgett, President of the Pana Parks Revitalization Committee, first starts by talking how the festival got it’s start in 2024.

Blodgett highlights the many different activities and tournaments taking place. If golfing or running isn’t your thing, their pickleball, kickball, and corn-hole tournaments, might be more your speed.

Even after an ambitious first year of hosting the Kitchell Park Popcorn Festival, Blodgett shares about some of their newest events.

While the Popcorn Festival is one of their busiest times of the year, the Pana Parks Revitalization Committee has plenty of other projects to benefit the community.
