The goal of the Festival Committee is to continuously beautify
and showcase the community in a way that will allow its future
to be as bright and celebrated as its past. Each year Heritage
Festival proceeds and donations are reinvested into
the community.
The Fieldale Heritage Festival Committee
was formed in March of 2006 and is comprised of Fieldale
residents past and present, parties interested in the preservation
and presentation of local history, local businesses and local
government representatives. The proceeds and donations the
Committee collects are reinvested into the Fieldale
community. It is our focus to expand the offerings of the
festival each year, to add at least one new permanent feature
to the Fieldale community, and to help support
the Fieldale Community Center. The Center is considered the
heart and soul of Fieldale and opens its
doors to us to host our celebration and our planning sessions.
Our contribution to Fieldale from the 2006
Festival, along with donations from numerous people, organizations
and businesses, was to add over thirty permanent banners to
the streets of Fieldale. The banners display
the logo of the community and honor the people who made Fieldale
such a wonderful place. Memorial plaques are affixed below
the banners.
The 2007 Festival contribution, again along with generous
donations, financed the addition of a permanent historical
marker honoring the contributions of Colonel George
Waller.
The 2008 Festival was hard work with great results. A thank
you message is HERE.
Thank you to all who made the 2009 and 2010 Festivals successful!
