Recently, we learned of the passing of David Mantz, known as Waz to his friends.

If you did not know him, Waz was the owner of Big Horn Trading Company, one of the first artists to join the first Festival of Legends and who stayed with us for many years after. He would play guitar in our lanes.

If you did know him, you like us will remember his welcoming smile, his kind eyes, and his easy laugh.

Waz was a part of the Festival's foundation, but so much more than that he was always a good friend to us.

Everyone at The Festival of Legends is saddened by his passing. Rest well, Waz. Your spirit will always be a part of our annual gathering.
