Partner of the Month -

Josh Hardin

This month we’re celebrating Josh Hardin! Josh is the incredible Volunteer Coordinator for the Cincinnati Music Festival and plays a key role in making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Josh’s favorite part of his role is connecting with longtime volunteers whose stories bring the rich history of CMF to life. “There’s something special about hearing how far this event goes back for so many people,” he shares. “It makes it even more meaningful to be part of it.”

Josh, you have brought a new energy to our volunteer crew. We especially love your spunky instructional videos. Thanks for helping us keep the stress low and the vibes high!

Rolliing With the Riches,

Tonya M. Dulaney Little

Rolling With the Riches, is a travelling organization out of Chicago, Illinois. We started out travelling to the Cincinnati Music Festival in 2014 as a guest. We later decided to do our own trips to Cincinnati in 2015. We are an organization that loves to give our guests the best experiences they can imagine. We do trips throughout the year. This includes Music Festivals, Cruises, and Sports Events, etc. We travel throughout the United States and Internationally. We also give back to our Community, feeding the Homeless and giving out clothing. The Cincinnati Music Festival has been one of our largest attended travel experiences. We had 7 buses to the Cincinnati Music Festival back in 2017 and over 200 of our attendees drove. Rolling With The Riches is not just a trip “It’s An Experience” We look forward to enjoying the Cincinnati Music Festival this year and many more years to come.
