We want to take a moment to thank everyone who worked so hard to make Esther Fest such a great success this year. Thank you to the Town of Amherst, NS and the Amherst Downtown Business Association for all their support, as well as the many volunteers who attended months of meetings and then worked at the events.
Thank you to the actors, presenters, psychic readers, story tellers etc. who were such an important part of the Festival. Shout out as well to the local people, businesses and organizations who loaned equipment and let us use their spaces, as well as the groups who added their own events to our list of activities.
