A Huge Thank You to Everyone Who Pitched in to Make the Sweet Summer Celebration Possible!
It took months of planning and flew by in a matter of days. In between, many, many individuals and businesses gave money, in-kind services, and hours and hours of enthusiasm and volunteer time to bring the Sweet Summer Celebration to the Ludington area.
The goal was to create a festival of arts and culture and fun with something for everyone, while raising funds for the Center for the Arts. From the kick-off concert by Aaron Meyer, Tim Ellis and friends at Epworth to the ice cream social and variety show to the art exhibition and more, it was a whirlwind of Sweet Summer activities. And, we reached our goal of raising $30,000 for the Center for the Arts.
We'd like to recognize everyone who helped make the first annual Sweet Summer Celebration a great success!
