A shoutout to all the amazing people who worked and volunteered at this year's Deaf Fest!

This year we had 4 interpreters - Heather Loades, Cherie Sakovits, Imran Webb, and Emma Cresdee

We had 27 volunteers this year, our biggest group yet!

Without all of these people, the festival wouldn't be possible. We are so grateful for your generosity!
