Giving Back
A Festival for the Community
Each year Hemlock Sawdust Days gives back a portion of its proceeds to a variety of community projects and scholarships for high school seniors. The remaining funds are used to put on the next year's festival so that it remains a free event for all members of the community.
Community Projects
Community projects are evaluated on an individual basis and funding may be sought year-round from the Sawdust Days Festival Committee. Special consideration is given to projects that impact a greater percentage of the community.
