It’s Festival time! I’d love to say that our crew puts everything on hold and concentrates on the Festival but, that would be a dream. We have a full week of meetings and planning sessions for the Festival in addition to finalizing our worker’s comp audit, defending our budget request for the City of Augusta, meeting about a location for Arts in the Heart in 2024 (we’ll talk about that later) and holding grant meetings. Of Course the Festival is our number 1 priority.

I am hanging in and getting everything done. I am looking forward to the opening concert of Southern Soul and Song along with a dinner at Luigi’s. It’s my comfort restaurant, reminding me of the small Italian places my parents would take us to in New York growing up.
