In order to keep up with the hectic schedule, Burkholder began to stay in Goshen during the week, cutting down on travel time. "My mom had to do some shopping for me, since I can't get away," she joked. "I knew I was going to be busy, but not exactly how busy," she added. "I can almost stand and sleep." She may have been busier than expected last week, but she wouldn't trade any of it for the opportunities presented to her through the win. "I'm happy with the fact that so many doors have been opened for me," she said.

this go-round. "We are bringing a lot more rides," Gerber said. "They'll be bigger and nicer than we've ever had. Some will equal those at county fairs." One thing that will return this year without any alterations will be the laser light show, which Gerber commented about hearing people talking about six ( to eight months after last year's festival. There will also be three stages set up this year, with multi-tal-ented Mike Hemmelgam performing eight times over the three-day festival. "Mike is just a talented individual," Gerber said about the national performer. Along with Hemmelgarn, bands such as Country Cloggers, Out of Towners Band, Harper Garris Family, Amarillo Star Dance, Due Process and Spike and the Bulldogs will be performing. 2005 North Wood graduate Erica Eby will also perform on Saturday, North Wood's Dawning Generation will also be performing on Sunday with students from the Lee Ann Stewart Dance School also set to dance on Sunday. There will also be karaoke, teen and adult dances and a talent show taking place on one of the three stages. "An added incentive, besides the award money, for the winner of the talent show is that he or she will be invited to perform in a production at Amish Acres," Gerber said.
