The Text

Here you can read various press releases and text files from years past. Some of these files are in Portable Document Format (.pdf), a text file that will open in Adobe Acrobat. These files are presented as they originally appeared on our site or elsewhere; you will need to use your "Back" button to return to this page.

The best place to start is the history linked above. This was prepared for the Library of Congress in 2000 and was a part of our being awarded status as a Local Legacy by Congresswoman Debby Stabenow.

If you have text files from past festivals that you would like to share (digital format only, please), Contact the Webmaster.
