Thank you Sheila McBride for a great 8 years!
A Change in Leadership, A Continued Commitment
With every new chapter comes an opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and look forward to what lies ahead.
After giving so much of her time, heart, and leadership to our festival, Sheila McBride will be stepping down from her role as Farmers’ Summerfest-Pigeon MI Festival Chair. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, passion, and countless hours she has poured into making our festival something our community can be proud of. Her leadership has made a lasting difference, and we cannot thank her enough for all she has done.
At the same time, we are excited to announce a change in board positions. Erica Kolacz will be stepping down as President and will be taking on the role of Festival Chair. While this is a change in title and responsibility, the commitment remains the same — to serve our community, support our board, and continue working together to make the festival a wonderful experience for everyone.
Leadership may change, but the heart behind what we do remains constant: community, friendship, tradition, and a shared love for our festival.
Please join us in thanking Sheila for her tremendous service as Festival Chair and in welcoming Erica into her new role. We are grateful for the past, excited for the future, and looking forward to all that we can accomplish together.
Here’s to new beginnings, continued traditions, and another wonderful chapter for our festival. ❤️
