Hello fans and friends,

Every year as the fest comes to a close there is a sense of relief that we get a small break before gearing up for the next year, and a sense that we did it again… we put together an awesome festival with a barebones volunteer board, brought in a heck of a line up, and along with countless fest volunteers for two days worked our hearts out. This year was no different, anyone who left before Karl and the Country Dutchmen missed a super fine show, and as I sat at the back of the tent in my perch at the mercantile, watching the tuba rock on… I was sad that it was over so quickly. I am home today with only a few loose ends to tie up, and no pressing fest business, only a promise that next year August 3rd and 4th , if karma is in my favor I will be there again, this festival truly holds a piece of my heart and I hope many of you feel the same way…. Okay so enough of my emotional, sad little ramblings….
