This year's Wheel Fest has been put together with the hard work of 11 committee members. They are Kathi Rickman (chair), Mike Barber, Lisa Cooke, Maureen David, Ray Dawley, Sherry Dobson, Gene Eichas, Linda Eichas, Jerry Hoffman, Tammy Keyes, and Debbie Turbeville.

While this crew was able to prepare a top-notch festival, they're not relishing the idea of doing it again next year without any additional help. To get involved all one needs to do is contact Rickman at 964-2421. Planning meetings will begin in September and will be scheduled for the first and third Tuesday of every month.

"Everybody loves the festival," said Linda Eichas. "But they don't realize what needs to happen behind the scenes."
