As you can see by the dates below, if you didn’t make it to this year’s
festival, you missed a great one. Our
committee is already busy planning the 2012 event. If you are interested in helping out, check
out the Events and Announcements
part of our website. We are looking for
individuals who are interested in giving a helping hand and working together as
a team to continue the “friendliest” festival in the mountains.
