2012 Festival was a success! Lots of community participation (donors and sponsors), food booths, performers and attendees.

Here is the first set of pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/102489320677806139703/FestivalAugust252012 

The International Festival committee is still looking for a few core members as well as sub-committee volunteers to assist in the planning for the August 25^th event in Central Park.

Core members will be meeting once a month, and form "sub-groups" with additional volunteers who will work on the planning for logistics, fundraising, music and performers, arts and food boots, press-releases and marketing, and so on.

Please email InternationalFestivalFaribault@gmail.com for more information.
