President David Katcsma says now that they've been able to set up their office, they can now focus on the other aspects of the festival.

Katcsma says they're looking build upon the strong crowds they had at the festival this year.
"Being the 50th anniversary last year, at our festival we had a tremendous crowd of people. We had a lot of people who were keenly interested in coming back and having some more fun weekends and enjoying the festival with us again."
Tonight's meeting starts at 7 PM at their office at 17 third avenue northeast.
