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!

How can you go wrong, really?
