About this site


We have lovingly-labored to provide you with "everything you ever wanted to know" about our Festival but in a way that you can select just the information that is of interest to you. Therefore, the redundancy of information is intentional. We don't have a high-priced web master. As a matter of fact, we learned how to build our own site using a basic free template and learned as much as we could from watching YouTube videos and accessing other free internet resources. So we hope you find what you need easily. If not, feel free to contact us, but please note that we are a volunteer staff of 3 people so the closer it gets to the festival, the busier we are. And, yes, this is our way of saving we need volunteers.....especially a Web Master. lol!
