A special thanks goes to Dennis Tuttle for the great album of pictures showing the artists signing the guitar raffled by KVBA this year.
Mike, Colleen, and Gee of the KVBA Board
To all of the Volunteers who spent 3 or more hours of their time helping in the various areas at the festival: we applaud you and thank you! Some of you stayed longer at your stations than scheduled to help out, and many of you volunteered each day. The KVBA appreciates and recognizes all that you do.
Also, a big thanks to all of the Board Members who were not only on site all 3 days of the Festival, but who were working throughout the year to make the festival possible.
It was a great Festival again this year, thanks to all of you. THANK YOU!
