Thanks for many of our Facebook fans, we have a new slew of questions for you! After reading these and you feel like you have some burning questions for us, send them our way via our Facebook page, Twitter (twitter.com/Riverfest) or e-mail them to allyson@wichitafestivals.com.
We love your questions and we hope you love our answers! Responding again is WFI's fearless leader, Janet Wright...
Stephanie Crow asks...
Why did you drop the poster contest?
Answer: We received fewer and fewer quality entries so we had to make a choice about how to best get something that represented the Festival. That’s why we did away with the contest. We’re looking at potentially bringing it back for the 40th anniversary in 2011.
Mandy-Melinda Price-Yokom asks...
Can you bring back the Legend of Windwagon Smith? I think it's important to tell the Legend if we're going to have the Admiral be a big part of Riverfest!!
Answer: You read our minds! We were just having this discussion last week. We need to find a way to make it entertaining and not to cost prohibitive. But, we’re working on it. It may be something that comes back in 2011 for the 40th anniversary celebration.
Jackie Bigley asks...
What happened to the beach party? I was young, remember lots of sand, beach balls, and music! FUN!
Answer: That was before my time here, but it sounds great. We’ve been looking into some of the events from years past to bring them back. This might be one. Thanks for reminding us!
And lastly, Carolyn Ramsey asks...
Is there anyway to find the names of the musicians who played at the corner of Douglas and S. Waco Circle (west of Century II) on Saturday, May 14, 1974 around 5 p.m.? My husband and I met while standing on that corner listening to them.
Answer: Unfortunately we don’t have good files going back that far. Sorry! But, I’m glad you have a great memory like that to share with us.
