Songwriters - You brought your heart and soul and shared it with us. Thank you again. Sponsors - We could not have succeeded without the lodging, food and other donations. You are so appreciated. Volunteers - What an asset to make this all come together, you are the greatest.

We are looking forward to a great 26th festival in 2010 and hope all of you are a part of it.

We all know the recession has cost a tremendous amount of cut backs and job losses and FBISF staff has been no exception. But we are moving forward to hope for a great anniversary year. This year performing songwriters will be by invitation only and will be determined by the board of directors. There will be cut backs in all areas of the festival.

Once again THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PAST SUPPORT and we hope to see you soon.
