PattyFest was founded, and PattyFest, Inc., was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) by Jeff Fedan. The first ten years of the festival were coordinated by Jeff and Kathy Fedan. Following that period Lonna O'Dell served as coordinator until 2023, when Jeff and Kathy again coordinated PattyFest. Margo Neal maintained this web site for many years before her passing.

The Gardner Winter Music Festival is run by PattyFest Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operated by volunteers and funded with contributions. Your tax-deductible donation will help maintain this Festival well into the future! Thank you!!

In memory of Margo Neal who created past web sites. She and Butch Neal organized the festival for many years. Margo passed away April 11, 2014. We mourn her loss.
