Where would we be without our amazing volunteers?! We definitely couldn’t have made this festival happen without Kyra .sutton70 Fran Denise .m.ford .peggy and so many others who helped out!

If you want to help out next year, we’ll be looking for folks to turn crankies, help with stage set up, manage the potluck, set up the exhibit, and much more!
