Granite City dentist to head drive for River Festival funding
Dr Albert W Trianj of Granite City will lead a campaign to raise 50000 for another Mississippi River Festival at SIU Edwardsville. He already has 6000 in pledges as SIU board, which co sponsored the festival with the St Louis Symphony Society, chose not to renew. The festival drew over 90000 attendees but lost 200000. The board supports use of facilities for a summer program of concerts. Rendleman says Trianj will meet with Stanley J Goodman of May Department Stores and John Gills of Monsanto to arrange the fund drive. If pledges grow, trustees could reconsider in January.
