Lineage Staff

             There are volunteers… and then there is our Lineage Staff — the people who have stood with us, year after year, through long nights, early mornings, and every crazy moment in between. These aren’t just helpers; they are the backbone of Palefest and the definition of what it truly means to be family.

            Some of these incredible people were among Bishop’s very first supporters when he returned to the hobby. Some stood with us during our very first booth together at Inkcarceration. Others have shown up at 2:00 AM, seen us unloading trucks in the dark, parked their cars, and immediately jumped in — working all night without ever being asked, never complaining, never expecting a dime.

 

            They are the ones who arrive days early, stay days late, and make sure the weight we carry at the end of each event is lighter. They’ve helped us grow, helped us breathe, and helped us build something far bigger than a festival. Palefest has always been about community, but our Lineage Staff embodies it. Many of them have gone from volunteers to people our family does life with — from church, to dinners, to our 3-year-old son asking to spend time with them. For five years straight. these are the ones that never missed an event.

       

          To our Lineage Staff:
Thank you. For your loyalty, your love, your support, your sweat, your heart, and your belief in us. You are part of our story, our history, and our future.
You are... Palefest.
