On July 19 more than a dozen churches from Ledyard, Gales Ferry, Preston, North Stonington, Groton, New London, Manchester, Fairfield, Rockville, and even Pasadena, California, came together at the Ledyard Fairgrounds to help kick off the 5th annual GRACEFest, a one-day outdoor Christian fair and music festival.
The event, which was sponsored by the Council for Christian Arts of New London County, ran from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., and offered a wide variety of music, crafts, activities, prayer, kids’ games, and food.
One of the largest festivals of this kind in Connecticut, GRACEFest 2008 saw hundreds flock to Ledyard to hear well known Christian acts including Dave Pettigrew and the nationally acclaimed Christian rock band, Echoing Angels.
