Briefly Describe Your Project Idea:

Island Fest is a 3 day event that includes car show, live band, vendors, kids activities, and a parade. There are two local bands who will be playing music on Friday and Saturday night, Todd Williams and The Muddy River Band.

Why does your community need this project?

The Island Fest has been apart of this community for a very long time. We would like to be able to continue this event with the help of funding. We are a lower level income community and we strive to provide community with uplifting events that bring people together.

What do you hope to achieve through this project?

We hope to achieve a sense of community. We are a very small community with great people. It is great to able to block off a section of downtown so we provide a safe environment for all to enjoy all the activities. we are constantly looking for new ways and fun ways to incorporate all different ages.
