Although my feet and legs still do not want to function properly, this year's made me very happy to be a part of the Street Fest Team. Thank you board members for getting us to June 6 and managing yet another successful event. I am proud to be a part of the experience that you have cultivated for many years. To all of my friends and hometown neighbors, I truly appreciate the praise you have given me for my work this year (even though I generally dislike compliments and will shy away from them - yup, I'm that weird person), but, as you know, I have a great team beside me, so, when you see one of them, let them know you appreciate their hard work as well (see, I even deflect in social media posts).
Thank you Welsh Sound LLC for erecting the JSB Main Stage and running sound. Thank you Bill Unger and Matt Robinson for holding down sound at the Library Stage
Thank you Shepherdstown, Department of Public Works, Police Department for always supporting this event. We greatly appreciate all that you do.
Thank you Eastern Panhandle Transit Authority for your shuttle service support, and thank you Shepherd University for accommodating visitors with parking.
Thank you to all the Volunteers that showed up to help us pull off an event that would be impossible to accomplish without you.
Thank you to all the Vendors for filling our streets with crafts, art, love, delicious food, and thirst-quenching beverages.
Thank you to our sponsors for providing funding that enabled us to hold the event. Your assistance is, and always is, greatly appreciated.
Thank you to the musical performers who engulfed our town with amazing music.
Thank you Laurel for sharing your story and introducing Ginada Pinata. You did a great job!
And thank you to everyone who came to the festival. I hope you enjoyed your time with us, and we hope to see you again next year.
