Current Festival Chair

Kelli Shannon

Kelli’s dedication to the festival runs deep. Since 2016, she’s worn many hats – including as a Team Leader for Souvenirs, Gourmet Gardens, and Tailgate & Fireworks, respectively. Most recently, Kelli served as Vice Chair for both the 2023 and 2024 festivals.

A York County native, Kelli’s passion for her community shines through her volunteer work. Beyond the Come-See-Me Festival, she actively contributes to Maxabilities-York County Board of Disabilities, Miracle Park, Leadership York County, and the York County Regional Chamber of Commerce. A devoted wife and mom to two sports-loving boys (who are also festival volunteers!), Kelli brings a well-rounded perspective and a servant’s heart to her leadership role.

Additionally, Kelli thrives in her role as a Major Accounts Coordinator for Comporium. Her commitment to giving back and building strong community partnerships perfectly complements her professional and volunteer endeavors.

A proud Appalachian State University graduate, Kelli and her family are happy to call Rock Hill home. We’re excited for her leadership as we continue the legacy of the Come-See-Me Festival in 2025!
