"....it's been an ambition of Tommy O, the owner and general manager of the Playhouse to put one of these festivals on for the last couple of years. He's been busy establishing the Playhouse and the other schedule of plays and activities there, so this year we decided to it and we knew we needed some marketing assistance...."
The Faires have been very popular and Playhouse owner Tommy Organiscak thinks it will bring people from many places to the Northwoods...

"....they're just a great time and a lot of fun. We don't have anything like that up north. This is a great thing for the community. We hope it's going to be something really, really big. This will be a regional, annual event. It will bring in thousands of people as it goes along...."
