South Whitley Festival volunteer meetings start Jan. 15
It is time to start planning the 2009 South Whitley Fall Festival.
The fate of the festival is once again in question, because of so few volunteers.
If you want to see the festival continue please plan to attend the meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the board room of the town hall.
Election of officers will be held along with ideas for new events.
Please plan to attend, the festival can not continue with such a limited number of volunteers.
