Thank you for particpating!
On behalf of the Board of Directors of this year’s Dixon Petunia Festival, we thank all who attended the festival and helped to make it the best festival yet! Mother Nature cooperated with us and brought us one of the best weeks we have ever experienced. We have heard many positive comments about this year’s new events, including the Guitar Hero Competition and the Kid’s Water Fight. Please visit our website at www.petuniafestival.org to see the results of this year’s competitions and watch for updates for next year’s festival.
A huge thank you goes to our board of 26 volunteer members and the hundreds of community volunteers that give their time during the week. Without you the Dixon Petunia Festival would not be possible.
We hope that you enjoyed spending your time with us and look forward to seeing you again next year to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Festival. Mark your calendars now and be sure to join us July 1-5, 2009.
