<br />fun contests, an online silent auction, educational presentations, community support service information, as well as live
<br />music and performances on multiple stages throughout the day. With an estimated attendance of 8,000 guests in 2024,
<br />this event has become a distinctive and valuable tradition for both locals and international visitors. HRF is an opportunity
<br />for local business owners, artisans, creatives, educators, and the broader community to share their talents and foster
<br />meaningful relationships within our community and beyond. HRF, as well as all HBA events, are designed as an opportunity
<br />for community development and growth for our small, local businesses, community, and youth organizations. We are
<br />committed to fostering a sense of community engagement within our town, and these events are a necessary component.
<br />Although the committee begins work early in the year, the requested funds will be fully utilized on the day of the event.
