Today's quote is appropriate. Without those that dream, festivals like the one you are all going to enjoy this weekend simply do not happen. Although there are volunteers and others that will play a part in this years event, a special thanks goes out to the four people that dreamed and put in the hard work necessary.
Due to family obligations and health issues, I was unable to work on the event this year. The only thing I did from the background was yell at them for spending money. I am sure you all will be happy that they didn't listen in the end.
Many of you know how much time it takes to throw a big party. Just think about one that spans 3 days, and tries to cater to everyone's tastes. The job is thankless.
As Zig Ziglar says, "you'll get everything in life you want, if you just help enough others get what they want" - that is the definition of Servant Leadership! Exactly what these 4 displayed for the past several months.
If you see these folks over the weekend; pat them on the back, give them a smile, or a friendly nod. They aren't looking for it, but trust me when I say it will be appreciated.
