Walnut Valley Festival Shirts Available
on Pre-Sale
Winfield,
Kansas—Organizers will again offer patrons a chance to pre-order shirts in
anticipation of the 50th Walnut Valley Festival, September 14-18.
Like
many other festivals and concert venues across the country, supply shortages
and other factors have forced WVF planners to switch to a pre-pay format to
allow for the shirts to be printed in time and in correct sizes. Fans must
place orders online before August 20th, and will then pick up the
shirts onsite at the festival. There will still be a limited quantity of shirts
on sale at festival, but will likely be available in a smaller selection of
designs and styles on grounds than via pre-order.

WVF shirts this year are provided by design studio Kinfolk Created, located in
Basehor, Kansas. Kansas natives (and identical cousins) Bryan Lisbona and Toby
Kuhn run the studio, after spending years in their father’s design firms
learning the importance of hard work and collaboration. Today they design and
produce premium quality apparel and small goods rooted in Kansas history. Their
Midwest work ethic and personal attention to every relationship is a family
tradition. And in this family, design runs deep.

addition to the available shirt designs is a special tie-dye shirt for kids
taking part in the Feisty Music Camp for Kids. The camp, featuring
music-centered activities on Friday and Saturday afternoons during festival, is
free to pre-school to 6th graders attending festival.

Executive Director Bart Redford: “We have enjoyed working with Bryan and Toby
at Kinfolk Created, who have provided advice on a whole range of commemorative
merchandise and products. We know this is a big change for many people who are
used to browsing the racks at festival, but as the song goes, ‘The Times, They
are a Changing.’ Just like any other 50-year-old event, we have had to adapt to
changing circumstances over the years in order to remain relevant and vibrant,
and we hope to continue in that tradition for many years to come.”
