A Thank You to Janesville and Everyone Who Supported this Year's Event
As this year's event comes to a close, we would like to thank every one who was involved in this year's faire. From the guests who attended the event, to the participants who sold their wares and entertained the public, and especially all of our amazing sponsors, this event can not be produced with out you. We were so grateful to see 18 new vendors this year and 20 local and regional performers. This year's event saw more than 3000 attendees, a new weekend record. Due to this attendance we have been able to double our number of scholarships for next year and give to fantastic community outreach organizations. Thanks to everyone who brought in a food donation, your efforts are very much appreciated by the needy families supported by ECHO. We could go on and on, but it all boils down to THANK YOU and we'll see you next year!
