2004 Festival!

THANK YOU! Thanks to Peter Maksimovich, the food area was great. We enjoyed homemade ice cream, pies, hog roast, brats, nachos, and hot dogs. Live music by Barry Cloyd, The Central IL Banjo club had 18 banjos playing. Special guest Dan Keding was on hand with his story telling. Tom Durand was chainsaw carving with Fred Schrepfer. Free Art Tent with instructors all day. Much thanks to Ellen Briethbarth for all her help. The silent Auction tent was incredible. Marty and Jeanie Potts had their high wheel bikes. The USDA Ag lab of Peoria was providing hands on Science projects. Scott and Tyler Velling were face painting.
Because of the wonderful help from the people listed below the ART ROD FESTIVAL was possible.

Which helps those Schools who are underserved in our area. A school that may not have an art program or in some cases has an existing art program that needs quality art materials.
	Grandview Orchard was beautiful as always and we thank Bill & Barb Alread of GRANDVIEW ORCHARD for their tireless efforts. I am so very pleased to see the continued support of the community every year. ~ Greg DePauw
