After months of brainstorming and planning, TVFCU debuted Riverbend Beach last summer during the Riverbend Festival. Hard work does in fact pay off. Friends of the Festival have been awarded the bronze 2009 Pinnacle Award for Best Sponsor based on TVFCU’s sponsorship! Through our partnership with Friends of the Festival, we are honored to receive this recognition from the International Festivals and Events Association. The Riverbend Festival was ranked against some of the largest festivals from around the world including the Kentucky Derby, Portland Rose Festival and festivals in Canada, South Korea, Netherlands, Singapore and Slovenia.
In addition, Friends of the Festival won the silver 2009 Pinnacle Award for TVFCU’s Riverbend Beach print design. This design was created by our very own local artist, Jimmy Johnston.
Did you miss the 180 tons of sand that was sculpted by Team Sandtastic artists last summer? View photos in our Riverbend 2009 album below. Team Sandtastic sculpted the headline acts for each Riverbend Festival night. Who knew that Willie Nelson could look that great in sand?
We are excited to announce that TVFCU will present Riverbend Beach again this summer at Riverbend Festival 2010. Do you think Team Sandtastic should sculpt the headline acts again at Riverbend Beach? Or do you have a sand sculpture idea?
