The 2012 Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival has come and gone rather quickly. The event was a great success with many proclaiming the talent was at an all-time high. But an event such as this does not happen without support from many individuals (too many to mention) and area businesses. The Scott Joplin Foundation would like to thank our business sponsors and those who made this year a success.
Thanks to the city of Sedalia for all its help, from Mayor Elaine Horn and the City Council to John Simmons, Bill Beck and the entire Public Works Deptartment, which helped with so many behind-the-scenes items.
