Without the support of our sponsors, we couldn’t make this festival happen. Thank you to everyone for funding the work that we do. From speakers, musicians and judges to signage, power and toilets, it takes a fair whack of cash to run this little shin dig. Sponsors make sure that we can pay for a lot of this so that we don’t have to make it all up in huge ticket prices, or charging for kids. Thank you everyone!
