We Made It!
For those of you who kept the faith and braved the elements, each of you know what a special day was had by all who gathered yesterday on Carmel Green. With great and diverse music hosted by Gene Shay and performed by Nik Everett, 61 North, Nora Whittaker, Eilen Jewell, Bonerama, Hoots & Hellmouth, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and the legendary Arlo Guthrie. To the volunteers, many of which worked 12 hours thank you. To the stage crew and production teams and the keep it dry team, we are extremely appreciative. Special thanks to members of the Cumberland County Fair Association for making some late Sat am help to turn the 4H Barn into a real live dance hall for Eilen Jewell who played two sets to accomodate our urgent need to move from the main stage and dry off and make the area safe. Arlo Guthrie also moved his closing festival set into the intimate setting of the barn complete with tractors in the background to provde a great ending to what could have been a very bad day for an outdoor festival. Our hats are off to our sponsors, vendors, artists, security and medical professionals, volunters and fans who took one day away from the crazy world which we live to enjoy a great day listening to music and leaving their worries home for the nine hours + of peace, music and some inclement weather. In the true spirit of Woodstock we did it.
