To the Editor,
This makes it eight years without rain, and counting. We all had another fantastic day on Saturday. The weather could not have been better. As always, we're very grateful for the support of the Greater Cornwall Community.
There are many individuals and organizations to thank. First, thanks to Mayor Brendan Coyne and the Village Board for allowing there to be a RiverFest. Village Clerk Jeanne Mahoney and her staff, Dave Halvorsen and the DPW and Chief Dixon and the Village PD all stepped up, as usual, and we can’t thank them enough. Superintendent Neal Miller and the Cornwall Central School District, Scoutmaster Ron Jurain and the Scouts and Leaders of Boy Scout Troop 118, COVAC and Storm King Engine Company all played important roles. Without the support and participation of all these organizations and individuals, RiverFest wouldn’t be possible. We would also like to thank all of our contributors and sponsors for providing the financial support necessary to pay for RiverFest. A complete list can be found on our website: www.river-fest.com, and it's not too late to make a donation for RiverFest 2015.
RiverFest is a team effort. Committee members Kate Benson, Kathy Ferraro, Gloria Gerard, Brian Hunt, Joann Munkelt, Tom O'Shea, Howard Protter, Barbara Perry, Bob Petrilli, Jeff Schaack, Karen Schaack, Gail Sherman, Bill Webber and Lis Hellwege worked tirelessly to make RiverFest 17 our best ever. This small group of people that gives so generously of their time and especially their talent deserve all the credit. The RiverFest Committee and the Cornwall Community are what make days like this past Saturday so remarkable.
We also had some volunteers step up to help us during the festival. Thank you to Cindy Lyons, Kayla Coeli, Emily Trieste, Abby Dunning, Alex Fitzgerald, Maia Tice, Skylar Strauss and Lizzie Webber. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
Please mark your calendars for the first Saturday in June, and join us next year for RiverFest 2015.
Sincerely,
Wynn Gold
Chairman
