"On behalf of the Town of Newcomb and the Newcomb Chamber of Commerce we would like to thank you for participating in the Newcomb Summer Fest.  Despite inclement weather the First Newcomb Summer Fest was a big success.  Our goal was to bring more people to Newcomb to see what the Town has to offer.  We would like to thank everyone who participated, attended, and held a garage sale.  We appreciate your efforts.  You are what make these events possible and successful."
