Kudos to everybody involved in conducting SummerFest 2009 for our community! It was very nice and it certainly seemed like everybody attending enjoyed all aspects of the festivities.
I’ll second that. This was a great event and ought to be a strong draw for people in neighboring towns looking for a day trip.
