Festival Web site tells what to see, do
By Jennifer Pearson Bonnett As long as you have access to the Internet, you can find out anything you need to know about the Lodi Grape Festival. From ticket prices and event dates to historical data and past pictures, the festival’s Web site is a wealth of information. Similar to last year — the first time the newly designed Web site was viewed by the public — those who access the main page can check on the entertainment schedule complete with pictures of each performer and download a map of the festival grounds or get directions to the facility. Through organized “jump pages,” similar to a book’s table of contents, you can sign up for a grape stomp time slot or get information on competitive exhibit entries. It also includes a printable form to purchase pre-sale tickets. Check out the Web site for parade information, including times and categories. Not only does the Web site change year after year, sometimes it’s daily. Check this year for a thought of the day. There are also links to the online version of the News-Sentinel's annual Grape Festival special section, sponsoring radio stations and a list of all sponsors. “It’s our information center,” Grape Festival General Manager Mark Armstrong said. “We know people are using it because we get feedback.” The site is provided and sponsored by Lodinet, a local Internet service provider. The festival staff is responsible for the design and daily updates. “It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t have access to the Internet,” Armstrong said.
