Congratulations and a big THANK YOU to 4Culture and the whole Heritage and Arts Community! To quote an old Country Western song, “I’m so happy, I could cry!” To everyone who worked so hard to make this happen, YOU did it – with one, unified voice, you demonstrated the importance of culture – not only its economic impact, but as the part of life that makes it worth living – and you said it with such belief and strength, that voice was finally heard, just like the Whos of Whoville. Thank you again, everyone.

DARN! I’m going to be out of town that day. I would LOVE to come celebrate this wonderful event that has taken 7 long years to achieve for the best arts agency in the region.
Congratulations, party big, and know that I would be there if I could.
Thanks.
