Hi. Well it is precisely one month to go before Early Bird Camping begins at our festival. Lots to do these days. In an hour, I’ll be out splitting up more firewood for campfires. Putting on a festival is exciting but is also exhausting. We’re in good shape this year and it should be a wonderful time. I’ve been building a new mobile kitchen from scratch which should make things pretty civillized for food. We’ve even bought a fryolator and will have french fries to add to our menu this year. We also will have beef soft tacos, chili, and corn chowder, as well as a bigger variety of ice cream and snacks. Look for fresh homemade blueberry muffins right out of our oven in the mornings this year. We’ll also be peddling blueberry jam that I’ve been making. I wish I knew more about computers as I would love to start a new paragraph here. Let’s pretend I did, okay? We have also rigged up a small pump that will allow some easier access campground water…it should run allright providing no one overloads it by running a really long time. Firewood will also be available for folks to use as we would really like to lower the amount of imported wood from far away…too many hitchiking pests these days and too much timberland around these parts that might get infected. Plus, it’s a back and spacesaver for all of you kind folks. So, give yourself a break and plan on making a kind donation to our firewood fund when you get here. Randy’s out right now rounding up some 55 gallon barrells from a friend to cut into small firepits. All festival campfires must be contained in a frepit up off the ground so we don’t burn the field. (another new paragraph here) Our show looks to be bigger and better than ever. We’re got some really great bands lined up…for your listening and viewing pleasure! This year marks our 3rd festival and anyone who’s ever started a business knows this is our pivotal year. We sure could use the support of all bluegrass fans who can make it. Oh, did I mention that we give away free cake? Yes, it’s true. We surprised our friends who volunteered last year on their 30th wedding anniversary with a cake, had one on Saturday for our festival anniversary, and gave Randy a surprise 50th birthday party a month early at the end of the festival. It was so much fun, we’re keeping it as a tradition. Anyway, things are looking good for Labor Day Weekend. Give us a try this year and maybe you’ll discover a new annual tradition…we sure hope so.
