📣 Entertainment Leadership Announcement
Heritage Horizons Event Management is pleased to announce that Debra Thornton has accepted the position of Entertainment Director.
Debra has been part of our Renaissance Festival family for more than 12 years, dating back to the earliest Dragon Festival days. Her lifelong involvement in entertainment has taken her from Europe to New York and ultimately to Florida, where many know her through her work as a voice instructor and as the director of the talented Youth in Harmony singers.
Debra was selected not only because of her extensive entertainment experience and long history with our organization, but also because of our vision for the future of DragonBridge Farms.
While the Treasure Coast Renaissance Festival will be one of our signature events, DragonBridge Farms is being developed as a year-round agritourism destination that will host festivals, entertainment programs, educational activities, agricultural experiences, seasonal celebrations, and community events throughout the year. With her close proximity to the site and strong connections throughout the performing arts community, Debra is uniquely positioned to help us build those programs and relationships as we grow.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Andrew Mead for his years of dedicated service as Entertainment Director. Through venue changes, weather challenges, COVID, permitting obstacles, and countless other challenges, Andrew helped guide our entertainment program and support performers through some of the most difficult periods in our organization's history. His contributions have helped shape what we are today, and we are grateful for his years of service and friendship.
Please join us in thanking Andrew and congratulating Debra on her new role.
🎭 Welcome, Debra, and thank you, Andrew! 🎭
