NEXT ERA ENERGY MAIN STAGE ARTISTS

2018 Headliner Is Renowned Folk Singer-Songwriter Dar Williams:

Six additional bands will offer a variety of folk, Americana, reggae, Latin and bluegrass for all ages.

DAR WILLIAMS https://www.darwilliams.com/

https://www.facebook.com/DarWilliamsOfficial Dubbed by Rolling Stone, Spin, and Paste Magazine as one of America's most influential singer-songwriters, Dar Williams is a major force in the American folk scene. With 20 albums to her credit, the New England folk veteran has toured with distinguished peers Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, Loudon Wainwright III, Joan Osborne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, and others. Headlining at folk festivals across the country since the 1990s, Williams has been captivating audiences with her sheer elegance and honesty. Her intelligent, finely crafted songs are "beautiful, moving, and utterly fresh.” NPR’s World Cafe praises her “smart and serious songs with her trademark wit.” Plain-spoken and heartfelt, inspired and ambitious, Williams is often compared to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. By illuminating minute details, she approaches her art with a reporter’s keen eye and a fiction writer’s feel for nuance in confronting “the big picture of how people approach life.” Williams devotes her spare time to environmental causes, including her "Give Bees a Camp" project, which combines concerts and planting bee-friendly gardens for young students. "I go into schools and summer camps," she says, "do a short concert and hang out with the kids and talk about songwriting. But I also plant flowers and talk about bees. I fill up my car with tubs of beautiful perennial flowers, and the kids get to see this explosion of color. It's nice to help the planet to do what the planet wants to do, and it's great to see the reaction from children. They usually break out in spontaneous applause when they see a bee land on a flower." In her 2017 book What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Traveling Musician’s Guide to Rebuilding America’s Communities—One Coffee Shop, Dog Run, and Open-Mike Night at a Time, she examines the elements that build a healthy community—the significance of its history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food. The book is a deeply personal and hopeful message about the potential of America's communities. A renowned public speaker, she has raised funds for libraries, public radio, community gardens, and the renovation of old theaters, helping towns to become unique, prosperous, and self-reliant. Williams' most recent album, Emerald, “deals as bluntly as ever with the shadowy, subtle corners of humanity,” according to Rolling Stone, and was recorded in various studios across the US with friends such as Richard Thompson, Jill Sobule, Jim Lauderdale, the Milk Carton Kids, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Suzzy Roche, the Hooters and others. A sparkling collection of new, original material, inspired collaborations, and some surprising covers such as B.A.D.’s “Johnny Appleseed”, the album has received rave reviews. Her songs are tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and original—not a cliché or a clunker in her entire songbook, according to The New Yorker magazine. Videos:

THE LAST REVEL http://www.thelastrevel.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheLastRevel/

From the budding music scene of the Upper Midwest comes the cutting-edge, folksy bluegrass soundscapes of The Last Revel. Performing energetic shows from coast-to-coast, this powerfully talented trio consists of Vincenzio Donatelle on fiddle, bass, and vocals, Ryan Acker on banjo, guitar, and vocals, and Lee Henke on banjo, guitar, and vocals. They naturally blend the genres of folk, rockabilly bluegrass, old-time string-band, and rock to create a fresh, new sound rooted in the storied history of American folk music. Their mastery of the acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, five-string banjo, harmonica, and kick drum create haunting ballads and “bombastic live performances". With bone-stirring, three-part harmonies, the trio takes a raw look at modern folk music and caps it off with a bluegrass swagger that often brings crowds to their feet. Their uniqueness sets the band apart from many of today's bluegrass and Americana musicians. They tell stories and the music is tight, with touches of Celtic and gypsy tones appearing in some songs. They clearly have been playing together a long time, making it look fun and easy. Acker has a plaintive voice that draws the audience in; Donatelle’s voice has an aspirated edge that makes the audience come in a little closer. From subtle banjo licks to roaring fiddle solos to powerfully stirring lyrics and compelling choruses that will leave one humming for hours, The Last Revel has successfully honed in on a sound they can call their own. In April of 2017, they released their third album Hazard & Fate. The band got their start while attending school in Mankato, Minnesota, but make their home—or park their van—in the Twin Cities now. Amid their travels, they've found time to write new songs together, fish for trout, and carve wooden spoons.

APPALATIN https://www.appalatin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/appalatin/

With foot-stomping, hip-swinging sounds that organically unite Appalachian folk and high-energy Latin music, Appalatin consists of Kentucky-raised musicians and masterful Latin émigrés from Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Their performances blending traditional

guitar, mandolin, upright bass, charango, indigenous Andean flutes, hand percussion, harmonica, and vocal harmonies uplift listeners of all ages. In May of 2013, the band released its second studio album, Waterside, featuring original music and interpretations of traditional songs from their native regions of Kentucky, Central America, and the Andes. On the new album, Appalatin follows their instincts with a bilingual shift between languages, styles, and vibes. From the seriously Americana-inflected title track "Down by the Waterside" and “Danville Breakdown” to upbeat acoustic Latin “La Linea” to the outright Andean traditional tune “Alpa Mayo” and Fernando Moya’s Quechua contribution, “Ñuka Shungo”, Appalatin’s infectiously danceable tunes spring from the band’s shared love of roots music. After starting out playing a weekly show at a local coffee shop for free coffee in 2006, the band has since performed at some of the region’s most prestigious stages and venues. Since the release of their first album in 2011, the band has shared the stage with Red Baraat, Sam Bush, Claire Lynch, The Black Lilies, La Santa Cecilia, and Ben Sollee. They have performed at the RiverRoots Music and Folk Arts Festival (IN), CityFolk Festival (OH), Worldfest (KY), Culturefest (WV), and in May of 2013, they had the honor of performing before 10,000+ people in Louisville’s Yum! Center at the Dalai Lama’s public talk. They have also appeared on radio shows such as Michael Jonathon's Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, Red Barn Radio, 91.9 FM WFPK’s "Live Lunch", Kentucky Homefront and West Virginia Public Radio’s “Inside Appalachia”. In addition, the track “Alpa Mayo” from their Waterside album has appeared on Public Radio International's “The World”. In 2014, the band was awarded the Americana Award by the Louisville Music Awards Academy. In addition Appalatin was featured in the Emmy-nominated, PBS-affiliate Kentucky Muse series, now distributed nationwide on public stations. Beyond the stage, Appalatin strives to bridge music, culture, and food through their involvement in Cornbread and Tortillas—a collective of Appalachian and Latino artists. Their mission—to build community by sharing art, music, dance, and ethnic heritage—is manifested through outreach events, educational shows, workshops, and performances. "We celebrate our similarities and differences to create unity in a diverse world," they state.

HEATHER MALONEY http://www.heathermaloney.com/

https://www.facebook.com/heathermaloneymusic/ With "riveting music, an adventurous voice, and lyrics that cut to the chase", Heather Maloney creates an exceptional mix of indie rock and Americana, combining intricate melodies with

dynamic musical arrangements. Critically acclaimed by SPIN magazine, the New York Times, Huffington Post, and the Boston Globe, this Massachusetts singer-songwriter is celebrating the release her 2018 EP Just Enough Sun. The six songs (five new originals and a cover of Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall") were recorded as mostly single-take, live performances. The result is a raw and vulnerable collection of songs that explore themes of loss, misogyny, unrequited love, poverty, and even the moral dilemma of sending monkeys into space for the sake of science. The daughter of a psychotherapist and a carpenter, Maloney's songwriting is thought-provoking—equal parts introspective and relatable. New York Times' Val Haller calls her work "utterly gorgeous—visceral." Diffuser magazine describes her 2015 album Making Me Break as "unforgettable . . . a fascinating listening experience front to back—culminating in one of the most exciting records we’ve heard in a long time." SPIN magazine calls it "stunning, breathy, and starkly memorable . . . , masterfully done by Band of Horses and Avett Brothers collaborator Bill Reynolds. Sounds like Lucinda Williams and Nancy Sinatra taking turns on lead, with The Civil Wars as their backing band." The album's all-star band includes members of Band of Horses (Reynolds, Tyler Ramsey), The Wallflowers, My Morning Jacket, and the rising Boston quartet Darlingside. Upon the release of Making Me Break, Maloney landed on SPIN Magazine’s “Artist to Watch”, with enthusiastic reviews from other publications including Consequence of Sound and No Depression. The last song on the record, “Nightstand Drawer”, became Maloney’s first major television song placement on the CBS series Elementary. A Signature Sounds artist, Maloney has toured nationally as a headliner as well as in support of acts like Lake Street Dive, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Gary Clark, Jr., Colin Hay, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and many more. In 2014 she collaborated with Darlingside on the Woodstock EP, a tribute to the Joni Mitchell-written / Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young-covered 60s' anthem. The cover was featured on the New York Times and garnered attention from Graham Nash himself, who called the performance, “Delicious, really excellent.” Raised on a record player instead of a TV, Maloney dug deep into her parents’ record collections for entertainment, obsessing over the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, C.S.N.Y., Bob Dylan, and more. So it’s no surprise that the folk, pop, and rock greats of the 60s and 70s found their way into her own music. With those influences as a foundation, and a strong dose of 90s radio hits (from women like Fiona Apple, Alanis Morisette, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and Mariah Carey), Maloney was forming her sound long before she wrote a single lyric.

BRIDGE 19 http://www.bridge19.com, https://www.facebook.com/bridge19/

Described as artists with "a magic formula, real passion, steel-toed drive, and the ability to fill the listener with intense wanderlust", Bridge 19 is rooted in Louisville's rich Appalachian folk and bluegrass tradition. Having performed at Lilith Fair, Midpoint Music Festival, and International Folk Alliance, they have also served as support for Brandi Carlile, Sarah McLachlan, Richard Thompson, and Ben Sollee. Equal parts folk and pop, the arrangements of Bridge 19 creep into Americana with beautiful, soothing harmonies. Their insightful lyrics by band members and songwriters Amanda Lucas and Audrey Cecil convey stories of characters on journeys of love, loss, and wonder. With the attitude and focus to gracefully ascend, the band comprehends the value of being working musicians. A 2015 "Folk Artist of the Year" finalist in the Louisville Music Awards, Bridge 19 was also honored for their release of Riding on a Wire, named in the top 20 of WFPK's 100 best albums of 2015. The band cites Brandi Carlile, Garrison Starr, Girlyman, Indigo Girls, Ingrid Michaelson, Kings of Leon, Matt Nathanson, Patty Griffin, Paul Simon, Sarah McLachlan, and Sheryl Crow as leading influences.

ZION https://www.zionreggaemusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/zionalbert

With a voice and style reminiscent of classic reggae, this Evansville, Indiana, artist fuses roots music and spoken word to spread a message of love, hope, unity, and peace. Zion has been a crowd favorite in the local Will Read and Sing for Food series. Born in the small village (population 1,288) of La Plaine in rural Dominica West Indies, Zion was shaped at an early age by experiences that taught him perseverance, endurance, and spiritual empowerment. “While everyone my age used to listen to popular music for younger audiences, I was drawn to conscientious reggae music. I never really chose to do music—it was just inside of me. Once I learned to play the guitar as a teenager, it was a natural thing,” he states. Since emigrating to the United States when he was 18, Zion’s music has spread from the Caribbean to the southern and midwestern states. He has performed at the Texas Summer Music Conference and The Hip Hop Action Summit Network and has received a “Best New Artist Award” from Thompson’s Productions. In 2009, the company invited him to perform a tour with Joseph Israel and Ziggy Marley in Hawaii. Zion caught the attention of the producers of New York’s premiere outdoor reggae festival Irie Jamboree in 2005—and was invited back in 2006. He was the sole roots artist invited by Dancehall legend, Bounty Killer, to perform at the New York launch of Saddle to the East in 2006. That same year Zion formed a band called Zion and The Lion Roots Band.

Zion has opened up for a number of national and international artists including The Wailers Band and Mighty Diamonds in 2012, Luciano and Junior Reid in 2014, Ras Shiloh in 2015, and Warrior King in 2016. In addition to performing with Ziggy Marley, he has also recorded songs at Bob Marley's legendary Tuff Gong Studio in Jamaica.

BROTHER, SON https://www.facebook.com/wearebrotherson/

Brother, Son is an energetic, folk/Americana band from southwestern Indiana featuring frontman singer/guitarist and Ferdinand native Colin Hildenbrand, Andrew Kieffner on stand-up bass, and Andrew Wallace on cajon. The trio has been loyal and popular supporters of the Ferdinand Folk Festival, performing benefit concerts and performing on the Kyana Woodstock Market Stage—100% solar-powered by Whole Sun Designs. Delighting area audiences for several years, the band delivered an outstanding opening performance for the Billy Joel tribute group, An Innocent Band, at Lincoln Amphitheatre this past fall. The trio’s strong, poignant lyrics are brought to life with their excellent musicianship and spirited live performances. The band released an EP, The Prodigal, last year and will be releasing new music later this year.

Jacob McDaniel, New Salisbury, IN Jacob McDaniel acquired a love of vintage folk and blues music at a young age. He began guitar lessons at age 11, after inheriting a 1980 Guild G37 acoustic guitar from his deceased uncle. Jacob’s new album, An Untitled Life, features the inherited guitar. "I have been inspired by the genuine beauty and authenticity of the music of Bob Dylan, Cat Stephens, and The Allman Brothers Band," he states. "I draw inspiration from the world around me, turning snippets of rhymes, random thoughts, and song titles into full compositions."

Clayton N. Schroeder, Bloomington, IN Returning for his second Singer-Songwriter Showcase, Clayton is a husband and father of two. A storyteller at heart, his songs come from his life, his jobs, his friends, and the people with whom he crosses paths whether in real life or in dreams. "I love stories," he states. "I love sharing them. I love hearing them. I love creating them. I find inspiration all around me. Songs are like half-buried treasures on a beach. Sometimes all it takes is just brushing off a little sand."

The Strings of Indian Creek, Milltown, Orleans, IN The Strings of Indian Creek (Christopher Bell, Arianna Cox, Brandon Bambusch, from Milltown and Orleans) are a progressive, Americana folk rock blending multiple genres of music, including bluegrass and country, to create a fun and rowdy musical experience.

I was hooked forever. My songs come from my heart and life experiences."

Anna Wrasse, Bloomington

Lil' Rexing's Animal Petting

12 noon – 2:00 pm ET, near lower shelter house by Jamie Rexing Last year’s patrons might remember the donkey Pancho Joe, the sheep Esther, and the skunk Skunky Brewster? These beloved furry friends, along with Shepard, a miniature steer, cared for by Lil Rexing’s, will be returning to the festival. Research shows that the mutual benefits of children holding and petting animals are dramatic. The contact often has a calming effect upon children and teaches them to love and respect the animals; the animals also get joy and comfort from being petted and loved. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children and to ensure kind handling of the animals. Shepard is a 9-month old Angus/Hereford miniature steer. He won Grand Champion Steer in the Pike County 4-H Fair. Esther is a Southdown sheep. She is 6 years old and loves everyone and loves to eat all day. She has lived on the farm since she was about 6 months old. Pancho Joe is a miniature donkey also 6 years old. He loves to hee-haw and warn when people come onto the farm. He also loves to chase chickens and get his ears rubbed. Skunky Brewster is a 3-

year old skunk. He has been descented, so he cannot spray. He weighs 10 lbs. and loves his veggies, dog food and bugs. Lil' Rexing's Pony Express is small family-owned farm run by the Rexings (mom, dad, and two children) on ten acres on the far west side of Evansville, Indiana. On the farm live a small community of animals that children can visit, pet, and ride. The farm--open year-round--provides a loving environment for the animals. Appointments are required. The family provides off-farm parties and on-farm parties including pony rides, petting opportunities, and a playground. Lil' Rexing's generally book parties eight to ten weeks in advance. For more information, call Jamie Rexing at 812-985-3175 and leave a message. Also visit https://www.facebook.com/LilRexings/.

Drum Circle, Workshop

2:15 – 3:00 pm, lower shelterhouse by reggae artist Zion With a voice and style reminiscent of classic reggae, this Evansville, Indiana, artist fuses roots music and spoken word to spread a message of love, hope, unity, and peace.

Zion has been a crowd favorite in the local Will Read and Sing for Food series. Born in the small village (population 1,288) of La Plaine in rural Dominica West Indies, Zion was shaped at an early age by experiences that taught him perseverance, endurance, and spiritual empowerment. “While everyone my age used to listen to popular music for younger audiences, I was drawn to conscientious reggae music. I never really chose to do music—it was just inside of me. Once I learned to play the guitar as a teenager, it was a natural thing,” he states.

Music Workshop: Handmade Drums and Animal Parade

3:00 pm, lower shelter house . . . parade 3:45 pm, concert on market stage 4:00 -4:15 pm

by Kelsey Lee, Brittani Dodge, and friends

Children of all ages are invited to join teacher and well-known Louisville percussionist Kelsey Lee from last year's popular main stage band, the Southern Sirens, in this unique, hands-on music and art workshop. With the strong tradition of children’s nature programs featuring live animals at the Folk Fest, the workshop will be followed by a fun, musical parade of animals--well, actually, a parade of talented children dressed as their favorite animals, insects, etc.

Participants will create some simple, handheld percussion instruments using plastic buckets, etc. The workshop will also involve making and putting together wings and colorful, streamer-type objects for the parade. Children are invited to bring favorite animal or insect costumes if they have some or to come already dressed in the costumes. A few animal outfits such as those used at Halloween, or ones borrowed from area theatre dressing rooms, costume shops, etc., will also be available to borrow for the parade, while supplies last. The parade will begin in the lower shelterhouse at 3:45 and meander through the market area, ending with an informal concert at the Kyana Woodstock Market Stage from 4:00-4:15.

Strings, Inc., Violin Concert and Instrument Interaction 4:00 - 4:40 pm, lower shelter house

Children will experience a live violin concert by children! Kids will be introduced to the regional music education group Strings, an organization dedicated to professional personalized violin instruction. They will also have the opportunity to hold and handle musical instruments. Strings, Inc., the only organized string music education program in the region, is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to providing professional personalized violin instruction for students. Although located primarily in the Jasper-Ferdinand area, during its history Strings, Inc., has served students from Dubois, Spencer, Orange, Pike, Daviess, Gibson, Martin and Crawford counties. The organization was formed in part because local school districts in these counties do not offer formal orchestral, stringed instrument instruction in their schools. Using the Suzuki method of instruction, the program helps children learn how to read notes. The philosophy, recognized and used worldwide as a great tool for the training of the arts, is designed to develop concentration, awareness, and attention in student’s growing appreciation for the art of music.

Tesla and Eco-friendly Car Exhibit

By Ryan Zaricki

Near the Kyana Woodstock Market Stage, get an upclose and personal look at Ryan Zaricki’s brand new Tesla Model 3 and another eco-friendly car or two from our friends and supporters at Uebelhor and Sons—Chevy, Cadillac Toyota in Jasper.

As lithium ion technology keeps improving (cell phones, computer tablets/laptops, power tools, etc.), it was only a matter of time that the technology would evolve into home and car-based battery systems. The Tesla Model 3 is on the cutting edge of that battery revolution. Made in the USA with a range of 310 miles per charge, this Tesla model is pushing the envelope of what is possible in electric transportation.

South Spencer and Rose Hulman honors graduate Ryan Zaricki is owner and manager of Whole Sun Designs, who has been present at the festival since year one in 2010, powering the Kyana Woodstock Market stage with energy directly from the sun. For Ryan, the shift to a Tesla and a more sustainable lifestyle has been a natural progression. From being a leading installer of residential solar in the state, including many systems in and around Ferdinand, he first dipped his toes into an all-electric vehicle when he bought a used Nissan Leaf in 2015. Then he double-downed when in 2016 he waited in a long line in St. Louis to place his order for his Tesla Model 3. His brand new, brilliant blue model arrived in May of this year. Ryan and friends will be available throughout the afternoon to talk about the car, the technology, the future of automotive transportation, and the exciting developments in solar energy across the US.

Dubois County Humane Society Community Meet & Greet

The Dubois County Humane Society will have a team out and about in the park all day during the Folk Fest. Their mission will to educate the community about the services the organization offers and introduce festival patrons to dogs hoping to be adopted into loving, forever homes. In addition to mingling with the crowd, the Humane Society will also have a booth where snacks (for humans ) will be sold and a photo booth where folks can have their picture taken with their favorite pet or one they might adopt.

Renewable Energy Puppets All day, throughout park

The four, giant, renewable energy puppets—representing solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro— were created by mixed-media artist Mary Plaster in collaboration with an array of Louisville-area community members for the 2013 Unitarian Universalist General Assembly. Created on behalf of their local social justice partner Kentucky Interfaith Power and Light, they debuted at the Energy for Change Rally on June 2, 2013, co-hosted by the General Assembly and a variety of area environmental organizations. Featuring talks by Wendell Berry and Tim DeChristopher, it was the largest environmental-justice focused rally in Kentucky since the Marble Hill demonstrations of 1979. The puppets and those who "embody" them appear at regional environmental, spiritual, and educational gatherings.

Music Jam Session All day, upper shelterhouse Led by dulcimer player John Sheckler, musicians and singer-songwriters with all levels and styles of music are invited to bring an instrument to jam with friends. The jam area is great for beginners needing an outlet to perform with others and possibly get guidance from more experienced musicians. Keeping time in sync with a group is a common struggle for many artists. The pace and atmosphere of the Folk Fest jam are supportive and novice-friendly, offering music, friendship, networking, and a chance to express oneself. Everyone is sure to enjoy the intimate, welcoming environment of the jam area. Sheckler is from Madison, Indiana, home to the renowned, annual RiverRoots Music and Arts Festival, held in early June on the banks of the beautiful Ohio River in the heart of the historic town famous for its well-preserved architecture and nature.

Tai Chi: The Sevenfold Path to Healthier Living

1:00 - 1:45, Shaded yoga area above market

by Vanessa Hurst

An all-natural, caffeine-free practice, the Sevenfold Path of Tai Chi reduces tension and increases flexibility in one’s body, mind, and spirit. It brings a person’s body into natural balance by creating feelings of peace, calm, quiet, and alertness. Tai Chi promotes good posture, muscle tone, flexibility, and agility. Regular practice encourages integration of the body and mind, the muscular and skeletal systems, and the right and left brain. Tai Chi is also a positive, non-violent way of releasing excess energy and aggression. It helps to enhance creativity, more easily grasp new concepts, and work more easily with already mastered concepts. Sifu Vanessa F. Hurst, a Ferdinand native, has taught 5Element Form Tai Chi for 12 years and is a Neural Synchrony™ facilitator, intuitive, and author. Earning a master’s degree in Natural Health, she shares her knowledge and vision and engages the inner wisdom of clients and students, with the end result increased mindfulness.

No Coal-to-Diesel Refinery Facts and Updates 2:00 – 2:45, North Tent by Mary Hess

President of Southwestern Indiana Citizens for Quality of Life, Mary Hess will share facts about the massive coal-to-diesel refinery proposed for within the city limits of Dale. With Spencer County already ranking 23rd (out of over 3,000 US counties) in toxic emissions (Forbes magazine), and this region already suffering from disproportionate illness rates caused by pollution, the all-volunteer, grassroots organization believes the idea is ill-conceived and is committed to stopping the proposal. Especially with Ferdinand being just six miles directly downwind from the refinery’s fallout and the smell of rotten eggs (sulfur), the community has a lot to lose in public health, economics, and quality of life. Organization members are comprised of citizens from Spencer, Dubois, and other area counties and consist of young parents, medical doctors, a chemical engineer from the oil and gas industry, teachers, business owners, students, and more. Mary and other group members will answer questions about the current state of the proposal and provide ways people can get involved.

Alpaca: From Wool to Yarn 2:00, South Tent by Kristin Ems Kristin Ems and her husband, Willie, bought their first alpacas in 2001.

Starting with five alpacas, they bred them to generate excellent fiber and conformation and at one time had a herd of 31 alpacas. Kristin will share some insights on alpacas and explain how she has used the fiber to make yarn, both hand spinning and processing through a fiber mill. Examples of the various stages of fiber processing will be exhibited and explained. Kristin’s career was in laboratory medicine and hospital administration.

LETTER FROM VOLUNTEER ORGANIZING GROUP After many months of intense and fun planning, the day has arrived!
