Westfest

In Memory Of Granny Faye

With heavy hearts we mourn the loss of one of our brightest stars. Faye Connor, Past Director and Westfest visionary has reached her heavenly home. Her dedication and commitment to Westfest and all it stands for will live on in all of us.

Just last month we had the pleasure of hearing about the beginning days of Westfest with Granny Faye and Clara Carter, enjoy this memorable interview!

Arrangements and donations to the Westfest Scholarship fund are being handled through Aderhold Funeral Home.

The Meaning of Westfest

Westfest was founded in 1976 as a means for the West community to raise funds for a variety of projects, including various athletic facilities for youth groups, senior citizen activities, a community center, library and other civic and cultural programs.

To date, Westfest has raised over $986,000 dollars for the community. We are excited to surpass the $1 million dollar giveback amount this year!

Become a Sponsor

Westfest is made possible each year thanks to the HUNDREDS of Volunteers that dedicate their time before, during, and after the annual festival.
