Harvest Festival Recap

It is estimated that approximately 10,000 people attended the 21st Annual Harvest Festival this past Saturday.  Good weather and lots of other events in Sewickley helped to drive so many people to town.  We thank everyone who stopped by the Village Green Partners/Explore Sewickley booth at the Harvest Festival.  We enjoyed meeting so many people and hearing the words of encouragement for our town and the Explore Sewickley campaign.  118 new people signed up for the newsletter on Saturday and as promised we have picked 5 winners to receive a $20 Explore Sewickley Visa Gift Card.  They are: Linda H., Andrea C., Adrianne L., Susan C. and Tammy K.   In addition, the 100 free t-shirts that we gave away were such a hit, that we are going to create a t-shirt that will be available for sale on our website.  We hope to see lots of these shirts being worn around town. Stay tuned for more details.
