CORPORATE & CIVIC SUPPORTING CONTRIBUTORS

Every year our sponsors donate their goods and services, as well as financial donations, to help make our program as great as it is. From the free raffles to the entertainment and the landscaping, the Swartz Creek Fine Arts is 100% funded by donations from our great community!

OUR 2024 CONCERT SEASON IS OVER. WE CELEBRATED OUR 40TH YEAR. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPONSORS AND RAFFLE DONORS AND TO YOU, OUR PATRONS FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

I MUST THANK THE BOARD OF THE SWARTZ CREEK FINE ARTS ASSOCIATION, THE VOLUNTEERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTE WITHOUT RECOGNITION.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT NOT ONE OF THE LISTED ABOVE IS PAID FOR THEIR TIME. THIS IS A COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION WITH ALL INCOME AVAILABLE RETURNED TO THE PROGRAM FOR MAINTAINING PERPETUITY OF THE MUSIC.

2024 WAS OUR FIRST EVER PRESENTATION OF A SCHOLARSHIP, AWARDED TO EVAN KOZAK OF SWARTZ CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.

OUR SEASON WAS INTERUPTTED BY WEATHER. THE FIRE LAKE CONCERT AND THE ITCHYCOO PARK CONCERT WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR 2025 SERIES IF AVAILABLE. OUR OTHER SHOWS WERE ENJOYED BY NEW ATTENDANCE NUMBERS WITH STREET ANGELS SETTING OUR ALL TIME (TO DATE) ATTENDANCE RECORD AT 1800 PLUS. THE REGULATORS RETURNED FOR THEIR ALTERNATE DATE, COINCIDING WITH THE RESCHEDULED BOB SMEETS MEMORIAL CONEY NIGHT AND OUR SEASON CLOSE. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PUT ON A GREAT DINNER. OUR GRAND PRIZE RAFFLE WAS WON ON THE FIRST DRAW OF TICKET AND KAYE JOHNSON WILL BE TAKING THREE OF HER CHOICE TO A TIGER BALLGAME IN A LIMO COURTESY OF SHARP FAMILY FUNERAL HOMES.

TO SUMMARIZE WE HAD A GREAT 40TH AND A GREAT TIME SEEING YOU ALL ENJOYING THE CONCERT SERIES. THE SWARTZ CREEK FINE ARTS ASSOCIATION IN MY OPINION IS A COMMUNITY ASSET. AGAIN MY SINCERE THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTEND, SUPPORT AND DONATE, TO THIS WORTHY ORGANIZATION. I LOOK FORWARD TO 2025 AND ALREADY HAVE SEVERAL BANDS IN MIND TO CONTRACT.

UNTIL THEN, BE SAFE, HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE YEAR, AND I’LL SEE YOU ON THE HILL IN 2025!
