The 3rd year doing this fun event. Friday was a weather disaster with tornado warnings shutting down the sane artists. I was lucky in that there was a huge tree about 2 feet from the back of my tent to tie to. I had foot weights, leg weights, 12" forged iron stakes, and tied to the tree. When the storm hit, the wind forced the top and sides to separate, let in the downpour,, and tipped the tables I was holding onto! I was holding on for dear life and at that point I thought "I must be crazy". ( I really doubt my sanity at times like these!) When the rain slowed, I lowered my tent way down, re-tied, restaked, and went home to get warm. Many tents were damaged or lost.
Saturday was very cold for south Florida and most folks had their hands in their pockets. Sunday was much nicer, but still cold. Proceeds were about equal to past years.
The staff headed by Suzanne and Irish are above and beyond, and seem to be everywhere, helping everyone. The music and food are just fantastic and the show closed on Sunday evening with a great Journey tribute band.
This show may not be the best money maker but it sure is fun with a great mix....a little of everything. It raises huge amounts of money for this beautiful community.
