“We go to this festival every year and have always loved the talent and the food. This event improves the image of our city because the park is a perfect venue. Thanks Sykes family for sponsoring this every year. The bands seem like they get better every year. If we can get Mother Nature to behave like she did this year, there would be nothing to improve.”
