Two things are critical to the continuation and success of Harlan Days, volunteers and sponsors. Our festival simply cannot happen without both. Thankfully, we’ve had wonderful sponsors over the years. Some sponsors like to be part of particular events, some donate to our annual raffle, others just give because they believe in the event, our community, and want to give back. Volunteer Renee Ely reached out to our sponsors and asked them to tell us a little about their business and why they choose to give. Make sure to thank these businesses, privately or publicly via social media, and patronize their businesses when you have a need.
