The annual meeting and election of officers for the board of the National Asparagus Festival (NAF) will be held Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024 beginning at 6 p.m. in the City of Hart Community Center. All are welcome to attend.
Currently the board includes President Michele Amstutz of Mears, Vice President Mandy Achterhoff of Walkerville, Secretary Susan Merten of Hart and Treasurer Jesse Rickard of Whitehall (formerly of Mears). Amanda Klotz of Hart is also on the board. Board member positions are elected annually and do not have term limits.
“The NAF is excited to begin the planning for our 2025 festival. Our annual meeting will kick start our planning process with the election of board members, confirming festival dates and events for the 52nd festival. We plan to hold a public forum in January to gather ideas from the community,” Amstutz said.
The NAF meets monthly, with the date being dictated by schedules. If anyone is interested in attending meetings or becoming involved with next year’s festival, they should reach out on the NAF’s Facebook page.
