October 2009:
The organizers of the fourth HONK! Festival and Parade send their heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the Festival a positive and successful event. We are grateful to all in Davis Square and beyond who support HONK! and help us realize the vision of a community brought together by the tapping of feet.
Our special thanks to Mayor Joe Curtatone and the City of Somerville, the Somerville Arts Council, Aldermen Rebekah Gewirtz and Jack Connolly; the Harvard Square Business Association, Somerville and Cambridge Police, Public Works and Traffic and Parking departments, and Somerville Auxiliary Police; to the MBTA; to the George Dilboy VFW Hall; to Outside the Lines; to the Somerville Theater; to the Somerville High School band program; to the Irving House; to the neighborhood organizations in Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, East Somerville, and East Boston who hosted us; to the Davis Square businesses who generously supported the festival and fed over 450 performers; to the gracious people all over town who opened their doors to hundreds of visiting musicians; to the volunteers who got everything done; to the community groups who marched in the parade; to the skies for staying clear; to the wonderful musicians who traveled many miles to join us; and to all the good-natured motorists who were stuck in traffic as we temporarily reclaimed the streets for horns, bikes, and feet. We give honks, thanks and praise to all!
