The Violet Crown Festival was just 4 days ago, but it feels like it was forever ago. It was a dominant part of our world for 3-5 months but within 24 hours after the festival, we were back to our normal routine.
To re-cap, Christiane and I co-chaired the festival. Really, she chaired it. The day of the festival Christiane was on the grounds for 12 hours, from set-up to tear-down. She was on her feet, on the radio, making the rounds, and answering questions the whole time. It was a marathon.
To get an idea how big it is:
7 community food and beverage vendors
15 children’s activities
15 entertainment and musical acts on 2 stages
22 sponsored events
39 artisan booths
43 sponsors (cash, goods, in-kind)
49 community exhibitors
hundreds of auctioned items
almost 5,000 visitors
And it was great fun. Can’t wait until next year.
