Shotgun PartyThe tent stands empty and quiet and another Sugar Maple Festival has come and gone. Each year of the fest builds on the previous year and each takes on its own personality. Previous years have included the “hot year”, the “wet year” and the “insane mosquito year” (as opposed to the normal mosquitos every year). With this year’s record breaking temperature lows and brisk winds, 2009 could be considered the “cool year” but another possibility might be the “easy year”. Everything just seemed to come together especially smoothly and for this, we at the Four Lakes Traditional Music Collective are especially thankful to everyone involved.

Savoy Family BandFirst off, big thanks to all of our volunteers. We’ve said it before and we will continue to say it: the fest would not go without you. Your generous contributions of time are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Next, our performers. Your fantastic music and knowledge are the engine of the festival and the reason for it’s existence. This year’s performances were nothing short of fantastic. Thank you.

The festival could not succeed without the considerable contributions from our sponsors. This includes not only their financial contributions, but also their resources and support in the community. Thank you.

Jam TentThe audience at the Sugar Maple Fest is one of the most attentive, responsive and appreciative crowds there is, and is consistently remarked on by bands. Your contribution to the “vibe” of the festival is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

And lastly, to our fellow folks on or associated with the FLTMC board. Thank you for your year-round commitment to this diverse community resource.

Thank you all.
