Many thanks to all of the wonderfully talented musicians and performers who participated in the Lake County Arts Council's 16th annual Winter Music Fest. It's wonderful to have an opportunity to showcase the wide variety of talent in Lake County.

Thank you to Nick Biondo and his students for setting up the stage; and, again, to Nick for sound, to Norm Winkler for lighting and to Xian Yeagan for publicity, programs and staging.

Too often little recognition goes to the backstage crew, so kudos to Susan Yeagan, Hans Dobusch and Armand Flores for providing a seamless production.

Special thanks to David Neft who gave of his time to rehearse and accompany many of the musicians. His professional skills greatly contributed to our new and expanded venue as did the costumes provided by Diane Stawicki of the Golden Follies, and to our enchanting sign girl, Diana Magnes, who wore them with style.

Thank you, Betty Lou Surber, for keeping us on track and your wonderful energy, and to Carol Dobusch for her multiple theatrical talents and especially for directing Vaudeville 2007.
