To the editor:

- Raccoon River Valley Bicycle Co. (22 votes)

Total donations = $274.36
Many thanks to all who participated in the Festival and to all who attended the Festival! We appreciate your time and effort in support of this event.
Please note that voting and donations were not required—we want Carnegie events such as this to be free and open to all.
It’s equally important to us that people experience the Perry gem that is the Carnegie Library Museum. If you happened to be at the Carnegie the night of the lighted parade, it was as if the floodgates had opened — the place was packed for most of the evening with families and individuals enjoying the exhibits.
Thanks to each of you! Happy Holidays! Hope to see you next year!
