This year, we will initiate our first dedicated financial endowment. Named The Kim Howes Zabbia Art Education Endowment, all monies donated towards this fund will be invested in the art education classes in the Ponchatoula school district at the High School and Junior High School levels. As a perpetual endowment, the principal invested in this will never be touched and the annual proceeds from the fund will be give to these two art programs to purchase supplies needed to teach students in an effective manner. The music will begin at all of the stages at 10:00 AM. Enjoy the bands until 7:00 PM that evening. Stop by the Supporter's Booth near the corner of NW Railroad Avenue and Hwy 22 and purchase this year's festival poster which was designed and drawn by local artist, Jake McGehee.
