Planning for the 2023 Festival has begun!
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS !!
Dear friends of the festival – Having had our fifth successful event in 2022 (with beautiful weather on both days for a change!) we’re hoping we can put on another festival in 2023. At this point we’re in the process of confirming whether our usual venue (Fox Trotters showgrounds north of Ava) will be available, and just as importantly, whether we’ll have enough people volunteering.
It’s critical that we get more volunteers who can help not only with planning, but with putting on the event. We need people willing to organize children’s games and activities, various contests (from pie baking to embroidery to our usual costume contest), helping with set-up and clean-up, etc. Please contact us as soon as possible! Community involvement is the key!
