2012 North Spring Workshop will be held in Wabash. There will also be a South Spring Workshop in Jasper on April 14. The theme for the Wabash Workshop is “Spring into Festivals”. The all-day event will include a keynote speaker, Frankfort Mayor Chris McBarnes; round
table discussions; state updates on staging; ISFA membership information; and a glance at the 2012 Fall Convention. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and donuts provided by Lagro Good Ole Days. A welcome to the city will be given by City Council President Boo Salb.
This is a wonderful opportunity for festival planners to learn how to improve their festival, share their ideas and learn from others. The workshop begins at 9 a.m. and concludes at 2:30 p.m. with door prize drawings. Lunch is included with registration. The workshop will be held in the
Chamber Office Conference Room in the upper level of City Hall. Go to the ISFA website, www.indianafestivals.net, to print the registration form. For more information, contact ISFA Board Member Chris Benson at 260-5699391.
