Editor, Gazette-Journal:

Our county welcomed 20,000-plus visitors to our 33rd Annual Daffodil Festival with warmth and friendliness. It was wonderful to see the hospitality extended.

Our festival is not only for people visiting from other areas, but for our residents, too. It was such a warm sight to see neighbors hugging one another and greeting one another after a winter of hibernation. The vendors were so happy to see the large crowds and were overwhelmed by how helpful everyone was in getting them set up.

All of this is possible due to the wonderful volunteers who work very hard each year to make sure the festival is even better than the year before. We want to thank everyone who helped to make this a wonderful festival.
