Letter: Thanks, music lovers

Posted on October 7, 2010October 13, 2010 by Staff

The 13th annual Carrboro Music Festival took place on Sunday, Sept. 26th, and, for the first time, we had to deal with a serious rainfall. It was very difficult to cancel some very popular outdoor venues, but, as predicted, it began to rain in the early afternoon. I’ve received many congratulations over the last few days and I’d like to send out my personal thanks to all who contributed to Carrboro’s always-special (and this year, somewhat challenging) day.

Thank you to the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department, with very special thanks to Recreation Supervisor Kim Andrews, who works as long and hard on the event as I do! Kudos to Recreation Administrator Dennis Joines for doing the website. I’d also like to thank the Public Works Department and Streets Superintendent David Poythress, the Police Department and Captain Joel Booker and the Fire Department under Fire Chief Travis Crabtree.

Many thanks to the 2010 volunteer committee members: Charlie Berry, Catherine DeVine, Tony Galiani, Michael Gowan, Jackie Helvey, Meg McGurk and Janet Place.

Special thanks to Meg for her invaluable volunteer coordination and to Janet for her fantastic graphic-design work. Finally, thanks to all the generous sponsors, the venues and all the musicians who donate their time and abilities.

Gerry Williams
Festival Coordinator
