OPINION
—EdwardHopper
Community eventsare always in greatsupply in FranklinCounty.There arethose withrichtraditions,taking place year afteryear, plus events thatare held only once ormaybejust afew times. Whateverthe event, from the Watermelon FestivaltoJulyFest, fromPumpkin Palooza to FoundersDay, from paradestocarshows and more, onethingistrue forall: Ittakesa lotof work behindthescenesto make it happen.
So we want to offer awordofpraise and encouragement toanyone whohelpsbehindthe scenesof acommunity event.
Ittakesmanydays and weeks ofpreparation andplanningtopull offany kind of communityevent,whether it’s the firstyearorthe43rd year.Organizershave to managesomanydetails, includingpromotions, parking, food,ticket sales,reservations,permits,entertainmentand more. Thereare always problemsandsetbacksto
overcome,and by thetime the event rolls around, attendeesmightnever realizejusthow much hardworkhasledupto thespecial day.
We want to offera word ofthanksto all those who work unseen. We knowmostpeople whohelpwith acommunity eventdoso in avolunteercapacity,and that deserves anextrapat on theback.
