Just a short note to say THANK YOU for this year's Harborfest. You all do a great job and it is appreciated. All the time and sacrifice that goes into putting on such a great festival does not go unnoticed. Thank you to each and every one of you. Time is a precious thing and everyone who gave even one minute to make Harborfest a success deserves a pat on the back. THANKS again.

Just wanted to say how much my husband and I enjoyed the concert by the Charlie Daniels Band, Carmen Rasmussen, and Cole Deggs and the Lonesome. It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to next year. The city of Oswego does a great job and needs to be commended for a great weekend of family entertainment.

I came up from the Binghamton area both Friday & Saturday nights to see and hear one of the greatest guitar players of any genre, Jimmy Thackery. He proved to be exactly that, with a tremendous performance each night! It's too bad that he was scheduled to play at the same time as .38 Special on Friday. (I would have loved to have seen them as well, but these days, there is nothing better than electric Blues!) Please continue to bring Blues artists in the years to come, including another appearance by the great Jimmy Thackery!

It was great as usual!!!!. If I had to wonder about something and if it could be changed, I would wonder why there were not enough rides for little children. There was one ride for them \> I have two small children( 4, 6), and we walked from Wright's Landing and bought two wristbands(50.O0). Other than that, it was great as usual. You can always count on my family to be a friend of the festival for years to come. Tim Irwin and family

I am someone that likes to attend Harborfest and LOVE the fireworks! I especially loved that Littel Lukes sponsored a children's stage and had entertainment for the younger kids! I would like to let you know that I was VERY disappointed wtih the rides this year!!! There were NO little kid rides! My daughter was only able to ride 1 ride this year! I planned on spending more money down at the rides and was actually unable to do so because of the lack of rides! I would greatly appreciate it if there were more rides for the younger kids in the future! Thanks!

This year's Harborfest was excellent - I had a great time. I would like to see 38 Special return, they were awesome! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the wine tasting was in East Park. The set-up there is far too small and congested. I preferred it when it was at the Fort, there was alot more room. Perhaps you could look into moving it back there. Thanks for listening! Kelly

Please bring b-jam back for next years harborfest. Also 38 special was the best band I ever saw at harborfest I think harborfest should bring them back again to open the festival. Another thing I think that harborfest should extend the midway and bring the reithofer company back and bring more rides that are fun and exciting. I also liked Charlie Daniels band they rocked.

1. I must say that the boat parade was a wonderful surprise. I am so happy that the participants took the time and effort to bring the Harborfest guests such a wondeful treat. I heard they had to pay a participating $20.00 fee. I am not sure what the reason for that is but I would like to have more information about it next year. Also, it could have used more publicity to get people there. A voting system like texting your vote would have been nice and drawn more interst. 2. The vendors on the east side have plenty of talent! It would be nice to have a bigger variety of vendors. I would love to see this event improved upon. If this could be moved to a park where there is some shade I am certain it would draw more talent. We need to make the atmosphere comfortable for both vendors and visitors! Its tough on that hot tar with no shade. It would bring in many visitors if they could host these vendors on more occassions throughout the summer and fall in Oswego. Fanfare is a huge hit and always draws people. Finally a Huge thank you to all who make this Harborfest the special treat is is. On opening night at Breightbeck park I saw hundreds of people I knew and 1/2 of whom I was related to. This event always seems like an annual reunion! Thank you!
