Committees

Steering Committee


We would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your continued support of one of the largest celebrations in Bureau County; the Homestead Festival.

The 40th year of the Homestead Festival would not be a success without the hard work and dedication from all of the committee volunteers who have given their time and talents in preparation for this spectacular weekend. We would like to thank the businesses and the community members who have supported the Festival through monetary means and volunteer needs. This event would not be possible without your generosity. We are truly blessed to live in such a fine community.

Sincerely,
Todd & Diane Nyman
Scott & Mary Wallis
Harold & Brenda Streit
