I like visiting
festivals that have a theme. The theme gives me a better idea of what to
expect. I like it even better when a whole community becomes involved in the
theme! This is especially true of festivals that have a theme that can be
easily embraced by the community. A pumpkin festival, for example, makes a
great theme and allows residents and businesses to easily become involved.
Residents can create scarecrows and put them on their lawns and in their
windows. They can carve scary pumpkins and put them on their front porches.
Business can decorate their buildings and business windows. They and their
employees can dress up to add excitement to the theme. The festival committee can
encourage participation by offering prizes for involvement. Local media can
become involved by enthusiastically promoting the theme. It’s a domino effect
that keeps building with momentum.
