MUM’S the Word – the colors of MUMFEST 2012 are on the streets

The downtown streets are a blaze with the color of MUMFEST. Thanks to our many sponsors, the Noon Rotary Club and the City of New Bern, over 200 MUMFEST banners have been hung adding to the up-coming event that will attract thousands of visitors to our downtown October 13 – 14. 

The Noon Rotary Club has partnered with Swiss Bear for many years, acquiring banner sponsorships from area businesses to raise funds for their many service projects. It is a win win for the Club, for the exposure and support of many area businesses, for Swiss Bear and the festival.  

As the saying goes, it takes a village, and that is very true for the success of the festival. The support of the City, downtown and area businesses, nonprofits and the community in general, has allowed the festival to grow and showcase our City’s many assets.
