Thank You Culpeper!!! CulpeperFest was outstanding. The community event is always full of stories to shape our local CulpeperFest legacy. This year was no exception, as we had our customary rain storm greet us and decide to stay for the evening. . Fortunately, rain is part of CulpeperFest lore, and we got right to enjoying the tastes, sights, and sounds of CulpeperFest, rain and all. Our business community was founded in agribusinesses. I love to say that we an agribusiness community and we are Pro-Rain!!!

 

As I spoke with Laura Rogers, the Chairman of the CulpeperFest Committee after the event, she said “I am always amazed at our volunteers. They make this annual event so special. They are just great.” I would like to say a big THANK YOU to our many special volunteers and those that donated goods and services to make CulpeperFest so successful.

Our event was also blessed with a significant number of sponsors. In all there were over 65 sponsors and over 50 sponsor banners on display. We are so appreciative of our sponsors. They are committed to the community in many ways. It is our honor to serve you and we are very appreciative of your support. I want to extend a special thanks to our Grand Champion sponsor – The Culpeper Star Exponent.

Thanks to the CulpeperFest Committee for your many hours which began in January to plan this years’ event. Thanks to Harmany DJ’s for the sounds that kept us entertained, your wireless system made the event exceptional. Thanks to the many businesses that set up displays – your creativity is super!!! Thanks to Germanna Community College for the wonderful hospitality, the venue is excellent. Thanks to Shawn’s Barbecue for the fantastic tastes, your team is amazing.
