“Carrie White, who handles our fundraising and marketing, works for the (Yoknapatawpha) Art Council, and I would just like to give a huge shout-out to them (YAC) because they let us use the Armory Pavilion for free today,” Madison Riker said. “They’ve been wonderful throughout this whole thing. The Yoknapatawpha Art Council has been a huge sponsor of us.”
