Ames Tribune Shares about the 2nd Annual Middle of NOWhere Festival

Friday last week (April 11th) Ronna Faaborg of the Ames Tribune published a fantastic article highlighting our efforts for the 2nd Annual Middle of NOWhere Art & Musical Festival.

We don't want to spoil it for you...

Before we dive into some of the highlights of the article that:

  • features 20 photos of last year's festival!
  • tells about some details about the shuttle that will take visitors from Downtown Slater to the Cellar Winery
  • shares about our Founder - Siricasso Garcia and the vision for doubling and expanding on this year's festival offerings, and
  • of course provides ideas on how you can get involved as a volunteer or sponsor.

We are so grateful to get the word out about our organizing efforts and want to invite you to share in our celebrations of this amazing press.

Know of other outlets that might want to feature our work?

Let us know!

When we spread the word about the festival, we get more folks there to engage with art and music.

Let's keep dreaming about bringing people together.

Till next time!

-The MONfest Team
