THANKS TO OUR MANY VOLUNTEERS
March 20 was set aside at the Festival to recognize our wonderful volunteers. Over 200 men and women put in countless hours each year hosting, ushering, preparing mailings, and completing numerous other tasks. Thus, at the Volunteer Recognition evening, the Festival honored them with short speeches, a lively performance by the Festival Playmakers, and dinner, as well as years of service pins to those who have served for five, ten, twenty, and more years.
