COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

John Hunter, whose family is among this year's sponsors, said their support reflects a desire to protect Dog River for future generations.

"We are supporting Dog River Clearwater Revival because it is the best way to invest in protecting our wonderful river community for generations to come," Hunter said. "We want Dog River to be the core of our daughters' childhood memories. We want it to be even more beautiful in the future when they come back to visit or live with their families. This is truly a special place and deserves every effort to maintain its natural splendor."

Festival committee members highlighted the impact of previous sponsors, noting their contributions have helped DRCR install six litter traps in the watershed, preserve 291 acres of wetlands along Halls Mill Creek, and establish an 11-mile Scenic Blueway with six kayak launches along Dog River.
