I-tighlights included:
Wine and Food Festival a huge success and will return to Georgetown next year,
April 1, 2007. Red Poppy Festival also a huge success with guesstimates of over
30,000 attendees. Staff did a great job with all of the work. Many happy vendors
and more on the waiting list. Venues were all enjoyed, especially the music.

on the visitor survey is needed.
