THANK YOU to All of the presenters, community, organizations and the Town of Greenville, volunteers, and supporters for making a great success of this year’s Festival! We especially thank the generous financial support of The Maine Community Foundation, Maine Woods Forever, the Maine Office of Tourism and individual contributors, without whom we would not have been able to get the word out about our most wonderful presenters. Sincere thank you to Hannah Holmbolm-Brady for her most beautiful media representation.
