We camped in the “tent city” – also known as baseball diamond #4, and we brushed our teeth in a random electronics store and a pub. Basically, we took advantage of running water whenever we could find it.  This town of about 2700 people managed to host a pretty wicked festival, and it was a joy to be a part of it.  Kudos to The Polyjesters for their amazing musical talent, and their ability to bring together and build a sense of community.

I might actually be music fest’d out.  By the end of Sunday night I was exhausted, and I’m starting to think I need a weekend off from all this excitement!

Honestly, with their accents and cowboy boots, no word describes them better than ‘cute’. It was great dancing in front of the crowd that gathered, mostly people 3 times my age who took every available break to come tell us how great our dancing was and that they should get their grand-daughter/son to join. The warm reception, and generally happy and positive attitude of small town Carstairs was such a pleasant mood-booster.  Thanks Carstairs!
