Thank You to the custodian staff at River Bluff Middle School, The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce, Callie and Sara, You Gals are amazing. Abbey for taking the King Dan and Queen Cindy around to all the events and stopping to visit the A & C Fair and to all the rest of the 400+ volunteers that help make this festival happen.
