We would like to thank all of our contributors for the generosity they have shown, and especially to those who, without their kind hearts, The Hot Steamed Jazz Festival would not be possible.
The Essex Steam Train
The Essex Steam Train has been another great supporter of our festival by allowing us to use the "juice" that gives us sound. They provide us our fencing, help put drainage in where necessary (so we don't get flooded again) and spread the process, which helps keep the dust down.
Brummett Maintenance Company
We can't begin to thank the Brummetts. Each year they supply an electrician and all of the electrical equipment necessary to the success of the festival. Including the panel box, safety lights, tent and facilities lighting and much more literally saving the festival thousands of dollars each year. Joe Bombaci and the board would also like to extend a special thanks to Brummetts for their efforts in bringing Steve Yocum in from New Orleans to play at the festival.
IDesigns, LLC
Scott and Terri Ingersoll have volunteered to build and maintain our web site until such time as we are ready to take on this task ourselves. If you would like to help or if you have any suggestions for our site they can be reached at www.idesigns.net.
We would like to thank the many other folks who have given of themselves to ensure a successful event year after year.
C.P. Burdick Oil
Chuck has been a tremendous supporter of our festival by allowing us the use of the property so that we can, in turn, provide this music venue to our jazz fans. He graciously mows, smooths out the property and gives it the once over to ensure a safe weekend as well.
Tilcon Connecticut
A big "thank you" to Tilcon for donating the two loads of process for each tent. It's amazing how much one can appreciate something as simple as "stone" when it's either raining heavily or extremely dry.
