The 2023 Poke Sallet Festival logo was created by Jackson County native Dale Anderson. Dale graduated from Jackson County High School and designed the logo while studying Graphic Art & Design at Tennessee Tech University.

Because 2023 marked the beginning of the newly formed Poke Sallet Foundation—an organization created to ensure the festival would never again have to change hands—Dale chose to honor the legacy of all the nonprofits that worked hard to keep the festival alive throughout its history. His design pays tribute to the Jaycees, the Gainesboro Chamber of Commerce, the Jackson County Rescue Squad, the American Legion, and the Jackson County Drug Coalition.

This logo represents both the festival’s deep roots and its bright future under a foundation built to preserve this tradition for generations to come.
