There are so many people to thank for the growth of the Festival. I want to start with the therapists, because they are what Festival is about! We have a 97% increase in registration over this time last year! This year's theme is
"The Reunion"! Everyone that has attended a Festival in the past, is asked to "Come Back!" But we like "New" folks too and boy are they coming. The meal/lodging/ceu package has done fantastic!
The Massage Therapy Hall of Fame Members and Inductees are some of the best people, I have ever known. Now that we have the Hall of Fame, their stories will not go untold. Now, there will be a history. And the instructors have all been world-class!
We are adding a guestbook hence forth to record attendees to be made part of the Hall of Fame records. People will know 200 years from now, you were at Festival way back in 2010!
I want to thank AMTA for getting me to think up the idea.
Thanks especially to ABMP and staff for your solid support every year both energetically and physically.
Vendors like Sacro Wedgy have been with us, even before we had classes. Thanks, Cindy!
And mucho kudos to our backbone of the Festival - ALL the volunteers that make this event the largest independent massage event in the country.
We have grown to 42 instructors teaching 56 classes. I know, with all the people involved and teaching and having fun, 2010 is going to be a very, very special Festival! Thanks to all of you! Let's have some FUN!!!
