Wednesday, April 16, 2008 Spring fever will be celebrated this Thursday through Saturday in Emo. It’s the 40th version.
The celebration began, as many do, in a moment of inspiration when a bunch of the boys in Emo got together one evening to discuss how they might create a spring celebration and bring additional business to Emo.
Gordon Meyers, Ted Corrigan, Ted Kaemingh, Dennis DeGagne, and Clarence Ducharme at a Chamber meeting hatched the idea at an Emo Chamber of Commerce meeting.
