After counting 134 fully completed “passports” and seeing hundreds more people come through the doors, we know the exhibitors stayed busy talking with members of our community. We are appreciative of every person who stopped by the event or told someone else about it!

A special thanks is owed to:

• Committee members Sue Alexander, Matthew Griffin and Katie McDannald
• Facilities for the setup inside and marking the location outside with flags
• Jay Kitterman for bringing us the food (and therefore bringing in a lot of people!)
• PRM for the event graphic, ordering of giveaways and extensive publicity
• Volunteers throughout the day including Sarah Beggs, Alex Berry, Kaja Carter, Rhilee Cochran, Kathi Frieden, Fabiola Gonzalez, Gianna Hines, Hanna O’Brien, Katrina Quattlander, Randi Riemann. Lindsay Shelton, Angela Try, Amanda Turner, Bri VanMeter and Kayla Weitzel

If you are interested in helping to plan the 21st annual MC Fest, it’s never to early to let us know! And, if you want a luggage tag to commemorate this year, please stop by the office.
