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. We will also plan and sponsor a "George Waller Day" to
celebrate the installation of the marker.
The 2008 Festival was hard work with great results. A thank you message is HERE.
