RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

All events for Friday night: Bands and Entertainment, crafter vendors, Games and food vendors have been cancelled because of lightning. We had two awesome bands lined up - Southern Blood  and Speed Shifter - unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and gave us floods and intense lightning. 

Saturday's events are still on schedule as of Friday night. The Festival is suppose to open at 9 a.m. If it is raining, we will delay opening until later in the day, but as of now, all events for Saturday are still scheduled.
