The High Springs Main Street Program, a local 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, will be hosting the upcoming River Festival from October 1-3, 2010. On top of all of the world-renowned water sports and activities which will be available at area springs and river locations, this River Festival will include a variety of exciting events.

Given that eco-tourism and heritage tourism to historic downtown locations such as High Springs tend to overlap between 60-80% of the time, the High Springs Main Street Program will be hosting the 2010 River Festival in order to highlight the natural assets of the High Springs area as well as the unique downtown atmosphere and culture that our beautiful city has to offer. This event is an annual fundraiser for the High Springs Main Street Program, which works to revitalize and preserve the historic downtown district in High Springs, Florida.

Please feel free to contact the High Springs Main Street office directly with any questions about this exciting upcoming event or visit the River Festival website at www.highspringsriverfest.com. We look forward to seeing you in downtown High Springs soon and hope that you will "Enjoy our Good Nature!"

Sincerely,

Ashley McDonough
