It won’t be long before crowds come out to the annual Fishers Freedom Festival. It’s 25th iteration will be June 29 and 30 at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park.
The Saturday of the Freedom Festival is one that starts bright and early for anyone that has a business booth. Just a few weeks into the job, I set up shop on my lonesome and chatted with the officials as they meandered through, as well as folks that had compliments and criticisms for the paper.
I want to make that experience a lot more worthwhile for readers and myself this year, and I am welcoming your input.
With the festival a mere couple of weeks away, I would love to hear some ideas on what Current can offer you at its booth this year, besides a sounding board and a brief chat.
I have a few ideas already stewing. One thing that I would like to do is have a brief survey asking what Fishers residents want to see from their first elected mayor. That would be used for a future story looking at those questions.
Of course, I’ll have a nice stack of back issues at my disposal to hand out if need be, and a nice stack of business cards will be at the ready.
Our world has become notoriously fast-paced and busy. Everyone from the elementary school student to parents are known to be up to their eyeballs in activities, responsibilities and just things to do, so this time around I want to be all about maximizing everyone’s time and effort with the whole experience.
I’m looking forward to talking with everyone at this year’s Fishers Freedom Festival. As the festival approaches, be on the lookout for further coverage on the event.
If you’d like to submit a suggestion for this year’s Current business table, e-mail me at [email protected].
