And Total Turnout for Eyes to the Skies Was...
Organizers credited the excellent weather and strong lineup of bands for an excellent turnout.
Over 50,000 people showed up to Lisle Community Park for the 31st annual Eyes to the Skies festival last week and weekend, raising an estimate of over $50,000 for Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions Club, the Lisle Education Foundation and more, the Suburban Life reports.
According to the paper, organizers said that the all-star lineup of bands paired with excellent weather drove the festival's success, and that they can't wait to gear up to do it again in summer 2014.
"We've been making plans for next year's festival since (Sunday) night," Roger Leone, logistics chairman with the Lisle Eyes to the Skies Festival Committee, told the paper. "It's such a great festival and a huge success. We can't wait to plan next year's event."
