Our Committee
Our village may be small… but we are mighty! Our committee consists of 7 volunteers from varied walks of life! We are also a program of the Rotary Club of Hamilton AM. You can learn more about their contributions to the community here.
Sharon Levy-Cohen
Founder, Sponsorships
Sharon started this festival back in 2011! For the last 11 years, she’s been the heart behind Imagine In The Park… and who brought us all together. Nowadays she’s the one who finds sponsorships & grants so that our festival can continue to flourish! Sharon is also a member of the Rotary Club Of Hamilton AM. A special shout-out to Larry, who’s happy face is always present at our festivals!
Ashley Reaume
Event Chair
Ashley joined the festival 6 years ago as our Marketing Coordinator, and has started pivoting to Chairing the festival as our founder begins her road to retirement! By day she’s a Marketing professional in the Niagara region, but her roots have always been in Hamilton.
Megan Herkimer
Artist Coordinator
Megan joined us 4 years ago as the Artist Coordinator, working behind the scenes to get everyone organized for the big day! The day of the event you will see her bouncing around from tent to tent to help out the artists. She is a Recreational Therapist by day. Megan has completed her certification for Montessori and has always had a passion to work with children. She loves seeing all the happy faces that come to each and every workshop.
Judy Mendelson

Operations Support
Judy & Irwin have been with the festival from the beginning! Their support through the years has really shaped what our Festival is today!
Mark Ewer
Financials & Operations
Mark handles the not-so-fun stuff… numbers! As a member of the Rotary of Hamilton AM (along with Sharon), our presenting partner, he works directly with the club and ensures that our financials are all in order, and that our venue is in tip-top shape when we’re in-person!
Tim Dickins
Corporate Funding
Tim works within his amazing network of corporate sponsors to help us raise funds to support our artists & authors! Tim always joins our in-person festivals and hosts magic shows- we never know what ‘friend’ he’ll be bringing- Flash, a pirate… it’s always a surprise and we love having him with us each year!
