Want to learn more about our local towns and cities? Attend our local festivals and events. Many have free admission and activities and showcase the "best" the community has to offer in arts, crafts, merchants' sales, car shows, historical information, educational displays and demonstrations, great food, and fantastic entertainment. There is something for everyone! Most festivals are actually fundraisers for non-profit organizations who make their money through sponsorships, and since sponsors look at attendance numbers to decide how much to give, you and your family can add to the number and help increase what businesses give next year. Most local festivals and events are based upon a town or city's heritage so you get to learn a little more about why we all love our hometowns so much!
