It's come to our attention that scammers are trying to collect payments from vendors on Facebook. We have never used Facebook as a payment portal and never will. Payments should only be made through the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce and no one else.

And that's a wrap on Syttende Mai Festival week, 2023. 10 years ago Brett and I took on the role of the Arts & Crafts Fair Coordinators of the Festival. We hope all our Vendors had a wonderful show.
We are so grateful to all our volunteers that helped us out this year, a huge "Thank You" to Josh S., my sister, Paula R., awesome friends, Tony M. & Antonella C., Our 3 kiddos and their friends, Brett M. and Lucy. Thank You to the custodian staff at River Bluff Middle School, The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce, Callie and Sara, You Gals are amazing. Abbey for taking the King Dan and Queen Cindy around to all the events and stopping to visit the A & C Fair and to all the rest of the 400+ volunteers that help make this festival happen. It's so fun listening to out-of-town visitors talk about what a cute, friendly and charming town Stoughton is.
Lastly, Thank You...Mary Sunshine, for finally giving us a perfect weather weekend, no snow, lots of sunshine and not to windy. Robert the Snowman snuck out of his box to cheer on the walkers and runners going by our house. Can we order this weather every year on Syttende Mai weekend. 🙂
