What do you mean Magic and Merriment: A Moonlit Faire is TOMORROW??? 😱
We have a few people we'd like to thank for helping us to make this event happen:

✨Of course, the City of Johnstown, New York for letting us use the park. The DPW workers for making sure everything is ready for us.

✨Mike from Trust Your Gut Productions, LLC and John Deal for allowing us to borrow sound equipment.

✨Mike Viscosi from Law Office of Michael Viscosi made a generous donation to sponsor part of the event which will help us make sure our wonderful musicians get paid as they deserve.

✨Our musicians, Ryan Spilken - Songwriter/Musician and Brian DeLorenzo- Heartstrings, who agreed to perform without a moment's hesitation.

✨All of our vendors who have been excited to participate in this first time event and who have been patient with me while I try to do a million things at once. (There's too many to tag but check out our sneak peeks where we did tag them❤️)

✨Our beloved friends and family who will be volunteering at the event. You're all so great!

✨ Our Main Street neighbor businesses for putting up the posters to advertise (several of whom will be open during the event so make sure to go see them!)

✨Everyone who has liked, shared, tagged, and every other social media thing to make sure that so many have seen our posts. And, naturally, everyone who plans to attend is so appreciated.

Here's the final map for the park! We hope to see you all tomorrow evening! 🌙✨
