The 25th Annual Bois d’ Arc Bash featured music, games, crafts and an assortment of other activities for students and residents of Commerce.
Manager of the Commerce Chamber of Commerce Trey Boyles said this year’s Bash was a success.
“We had two stages, and we are moving toward our goal of having continuous entertainment,” he said.
The College Night was another area Boyles said succeeded as he had hoped. He said students provided plenty of feedback, which let him know how well its debut went.
There are a few areas that Boyles said he and other event planners will be looking at for improvement.
“We are looking at going to a 3-year cycle, so we can have the event more planned out,” he said.
According to Boyles, a committee will decide what to change about the Bash.
Boyles said volunteers are a major reason the festival is possible.
“We have over 100 volunteers who are not paid for their efforts, and that’s quite a feat,” he said.
The versatility of musical acts is another aspect of the Bash Boyles said contributed to the event’s success.
“‘The Bois d’ Arc Bash has an overall broad appeal,” he said.
