Special Thanks
The Festival could never be produced without the help of many governmental, business and other organizations in the community. We gratefully acknowledge the years of support and assistance from so many organizations, and have attempted to list those which have provided the greatest help below.
Almost everyone in the community helps in one way or another, at some time or another, with the Italian Festival - there really would be no way to put on such a major annual event with such widespread support and help. The following organizations are those which have provided very significant assistance and support over the years, without which the Festival would not have grown and prospered to become the premier event of its type in the entire State of Oklahoma. There is no particular order to the list below, by the way.
