How long have you been coming to the <strong>Sublimity</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong><br />
<strong>Festival</strong>? If you’ve attended since the first event back in<br />
1973, then you know what a long way we’ve come! If this is<br />
your first time, we are so glad you’re here to celebrate this<br />
momentous occasion with the dedicated regulars. Most people<br />
have a story associated with the first time they attended <strong>Festival</strong>.<br />
Maybe you became hooked on the thrill of the show, or something<br />
wild happened on the track, or even something memorable in<br />
the entertainment tent! Whatever your story is, hold on to that<br />
memory, because we have many, many exciting years ahead of<br />
us.<br />
You have surely noticed that<br />
the <strong>Festival</strong> is rich in cultural<br />
<strong>2012</strong> board of Directors heritage—a community of<br />
Jim Burns, CEO<br />
devotees was established,<br />
Noel Kuzma, CFO<br />
it grows each year and<br />
Carol Ditter, Secretary results in family traditions<br />
Directors: Daniel Urquhart, that revolve around<br />
Wayne Palmquist, Darlene this well-respected<br />
Hendricks, Rodney Lutgen event. We love to see<br />
the enthusiastic fans who<br />
storm the gates each year.<br />
They come to see exciting<br />
competitions that stir up dust,<br />
generate excitement and create conversation. Some families<br />
make a weekend of it, staying overnight in the RV camping area,<br />

while others choose to attend their favorite day.<br />
This year, Friday is opening night and it features the new “Pit<br />
Party” where you can see the trucks and tractors up close and<br />
meet the drivers. Saturday has the Fun Run, the parade and<br />
it’s the day when the monster trucks crush the school bus! Or<br />
perhaps you enjoy Sunday, known for years as “family day” and<br />
most recently “cause day” where we’ve added non-profit vendors<br />
inside the <strong>Festival</strong> grounds.<br />
While we delight in the thrill of the weekend, the after-<strong>Festival</strong><br />
buzz continues year ‘round until the following September when<br />
we get all geared up again. Did you know that throughout the<br />
year, the <strong>Festival</strong> board gives back an average of $15,000 a<br />
year in donations to local clubs and organizations? The <strong>Festival</strong> is<br />
strong due in part to the organization’s unwavering commitment<br />
to supporting the local community. We are founded with the<br />
belief that giving back makes you stronger.<br />
“You get the best out of others when you give<br />
the best of yourself.”<br />
—Harvey S. Firestone<br />
Thank you for coming! Now, kick back and enjoy the show!<br />
