Abstract:

The first Dogwood Festival in Fayetteville, North Carolina was a week-long venture in 1983, when former mayor Bill Hurley asked real estate developer John Malzone to lead the efforts. With a small budget, the Festival intended to showcase the city in the springtime. Now with a budget of thousands of dollars, the Festival attracts famous musicians and performers and well as thousands of revelers each year.
