EasterFest is made possible by supportive civic organizations, businesses, and sponsors of all levels.  Shares EasterFest Committee Chair Charlie McIlvain, representing the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, “EasterFest has grown this year.  The Leadership Class of #29 formed in September and when we were assigned this event as our class project, we didn’t waste a minute to get started.   We wanted to build on a tradition honoring veterans and civic organizations, build on the strong foundation our class before us started,  and offer more entertainment, activities, and memories for local and visiting families than ever before.  We are counting the days until EasterFest!  Sponsorships continue to pour in so we look forward to sharing our levels of sponsorship in the coming week. “
