Special Thanks:

The Grifton Shad Festival appreciates all the businesses, organizations and individuals who have provided financial support in the past through ads in the souvenir brochure we published for our first 33 years, and through sponsorship of events. Although we no longer publish a brochure, we list here those who contribute $150 or more and list them also on our flyers which have the detailed schedule and map of events. We also list them on a Sponsor/Supporter Board on the Town Common during the festival.

Smaller amounts are also appreciated and a number of other businesses have already given amounts in the Donor level ranging from $30 to $149. All Donors, Supporters, Sponsors and Major Sponsors will be listed in newspaper ads the week of the festival.

If you want to be added to this list, please call publicity coordinator Janet Haseley at 252-524-4356 or e-mail edhase@aol.com for details.
