Wrap-up for the River Fest
We got together last night for dinner and a drink to wrap up the ‘09 season of the River Fest at Z-Spice Cafe. While we waited for dinner to be served we went over the short survey that had been handed out, for those of you that were not at the last River Fest we’ll be mailing you one in the future, but the first round looked good. Every one wanted to see it happen again and I’m glad to see that response.
We discussed the future of the River Fest and what we would like to see it morph into. Best of all possable ideas, worst of all ideas, we through them all around.
We’d like to see a more carnival type atmosphere with small things like a dunk-booth, more hands-on games and of course more vendors to attract even more walk through traffic. We are thinking about changing the date set-up next year to run from July to September every Friday afternoon. More advertising, signs and fliers around not just Sidney but also around other local towns.We also discussed moving the location, some place bigger, some place smaller, and batted the pros and cons around.
These are just some of the ideas that we talked about. I welcome you all to post here your comments and ideas so that we may look them over and discuss them.
Thank you too all of you that helped make the first season of the River Fest a sucess.

That Fall thing that you really wanted to do though, I *really* think you should push for that next year. It’d be nice to have a weekend festival as opposed to just one day. And once that kind of thing becomes not just set but popular, it might spike tourism in the area, which will help with our economy.
