Brian served on the Festival committee for over 30 years and was the President for 22 years.

Thompson loved the Festival and all the people he interacted with each year. He dedicated many hours and ideas to make the Festival an Albany/Clinton Co. tradition of family, friends, good food and fun times. He has been deeply missed by all committee members as we attempt to pull off the 2015 Festival without his guidance and leadership. The committee would like to thank all family members and friends who attended the special dedication ceremony in memory of Brian.
