______________

The Board Members of Penticton Kiwanis Music, Dance and Speech Arts Festival would like to sincerely thank the various organizations, businesses and individuals that have so generously sponsored the trophies, shields, plaques, cups and bowls that are awarded at the Highlights Concerts each year. Many of these have come in memory and recognition of local individuals that have been passionate about the Performing Arts and we wish to continue to honour this as we have for the past 97 years. At this time the Festival Board has decided to start awarding smaller keeper trophies that will be engraved in accordance with the original trophy memory and inscription. In making this decision, we are extremely pleased that the original trophies, shields, plaques, cups and bowls will become part of the Penticton Museum Collection, ensuring that the heritage of our Festival remains.
