In defense of Western Days

Dear Editor,

As a card-carrying, lifelong citizen of Elgin, I feel it is well within my rights to speak for the large number of Elginites in thanking our wonderful sponsors, chamber staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make Western Days as great as possible.

From those who attended and enjoyed the festival but did not have an opportunity to step up and help, please know how appreciated you are to donate your time, money, sweat and skills to make a difference.
