Still smiling about Greet the Summer Fest ☀️
It's taken me a little over a week to post about this one. Not because I wasn't excited about it, but because sometimes after months of planning and a whirlwind of events, it takes a little time to fully appreciate what was accomplished.
When Luci and I first started talking about this event for , her goal was simple: create a fun way to bring the community together to support a local cause, while also helping local businesses connect with residents in a meaningful way.
Seeing nearly 300 people come out to enjoy live music, activities, great food, local businesses, and each other made all of the planning worth it.
One of my favorite parts of the day was watching people wander from station to station, stopping to chat with sponsors, reconnecting with neighbors, and making new connections along the way. It felt exactly like what a community event should feel like.
A huge thank you to Luci at for putting her faith in me to help bring her vision to life, as well as our amazing sponsors, vendors, entertainers, volunteers, and everyone who attended. Events like this truly take a village.
As an event planner, there's nothing better than seeing months of planning turn into a few hours of genuine connection, laughter, and community. ☀️
