MEETINGS
Our second meeting for the 50th annual festival is tonight. After tonight, we will be doing a large recruiting drive for volunteers.
Our next meeting will be on May 18, 2017, hopefully down at Chandler Park Shelter #3. Check our Facebook (@pardeevillewatermelonfestival) for more details when the date gets close.
VENDORS FOR ART & CRAFT FAIR
Yes, I finally found an online solution for our vendors! It is live and if you go to FESTIVAL > ART & CRAFT FAIR the form is on the bottom of the page. And we are still looking for someone to run our art & crafts fair, or at least help for one of our committee members (Mark) who will be running it until we find someone.
UGH
Also, a few weeks ago, our blog was hacked and was… well, filled with non-watermelon related items. As soon as we learned of the attack, we patched up the issue (our odd phrased password wasn’t odd enough). Thankfully, nothing was downloaded. We apologize to you all if you saw any of the posts they made. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORSHIP
If you are looking for a great organization to volunteer for, we are always ready to take on more melonheads! We are a non-profit, free festival, so we rely on donations from local area business and individuals to keep this festival running.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us! Thanks, Mark
