Dear Editor,

I would personally like to take the time to express my appreciation for all of those who helped make the 5th Lavender Festival a huge success. As the Co-Chair of the event, I could not have done it without the support of the board, our committee chairs, and the volunteers; including our mayor, Tina Gourley, who worked the whole time. I had numerous volunteers that drove in from out of town to help out (including my family and friends) and there were also those who donated their time to shuttle people too. So many tasks and so many people that I can't begin to name them all. You know who you are - so thanks again!!!
