Boy Scout organizes Canfield music fest to build wells for Haiti

CANFIELD

St. Michael Parish and Boy Scout Troop 115 are having a music-festival fundraiser, dubbed “Yell for the Well,” from noon to 8 p.m. Aug. 4 at the church, 350 N. Broad St., to drill water wells for Haitian communities.

Boy Scout Nick Crescimanno is planning the daylong festival with food, games and live music for his Eagle Scout service project with the help of Food for the Poor, a relief organization that provides aid to South and Central American countries.

If the goal is reached, Food for the Poor (foodforthepoor.org )will double the funds to provide an additional water well. Featured bands so far are JD Eicher and the Goodnights, the Classic Cruisers and the Dickey White Band. People with ideas for bands or activities or who want to make a donation can contact Nick at 330-702-0559 or the Rev. Terrence J. Hazel at 330-533-6830.
