Was it a well attended event? Were the speakers good? What was your opinion of the event? Should they do it again next year? Was the Burton Historical Collection accessible? I would like to hear some feedback from those of you who attended this event. Thanks. John P.

There were about 300 attendees. The speakers were good. I congratulate Mark Patrick, the Burton staff, and anyone else responsible for the festival for pulling off a good event. This is a great first step towards improving the situation. JP John P.
