Steering Committee:

The event was envisioned in 2004 by Dave Karnes and Steve and Amy Lindsay, who served as general chairs the first two years.  We were fortunate to have Cindy Leiferman and Amy Deardorff as general chairs for the seventh annual event in 2012 and they will repeat as general chairs for the eighth annual event in 2013.  Dave Karnes and daughters Korey, Kalen, Kara and Laurel will again serve as honorary chairs.  A team of dedicated and energized community leaders ensure ongoing success of this event. Our committee includes:
