2008 Planning Underway

Since the summer of 2007, representatives from Downtown Milford, Inc. and City of Milford Parks & Recreation department have met to discuss plans for the upcoming festival. Although still 7 months away, Bug & Bud Festival is quickly becoming one of Milford's most loved events and requires extensive planning efforts. With the exception of a few paid staffers from each organization, the festival runs in large part thanks to the hard work from a variety of volunteers, community organizations, and generous sponsors. The festival serves as a celebration of Arbor Day and the recognition of the ladybug becoming Delaware's official state bug. To learn more about Delaware's State Bug Story, visit downtown Milford's own LadyBug Shop website. Check back to this blog often to keep up-to-date with Bug & Bud Festival plans. Any interested volunteers or sponsors are encouraged to contact Beth Durham, Downtown Milford, Inc.'s Executive Director at 302-839-1180.
