🦆 Recap and reflection on a very successful 3-day festival filled with support, love and the true meaning of community. 🦆
We couldn’t have asked for better weather and we couldn’t possibly thank everyone enough from volunteers, sponsors, donors, musicians, technicians, setup and clean up crew, local EMS, and to those in attendance!! This festival is NOT possible without your support!! 💝
Just a few pics to recap below, expect more to come!
(Also to include all the Notable people that are untaggable.)
