Each year a group of
dynamic souls come together to plan the festival events.
Committee members take on various roles, from coordinating specific
events, helping with fundraising,
to simply helping out. We meet monthly for the first few months and
then a little more frequently as the
festival creeps closer. We specifically need artists to help with
creative event planning, youth activities and projects. |
