Hello all,

It was good to see those of you I know by face.
I was only sorry that we couldn't stay to the bitter end,
so I missed my buddy Dave Ruch playing with Jay M.

About the festival moving.... it might just be a rumor.
I got into a conversation with Andy Spence Saturday night
where she *did* talk about difficulties with the fairgrounds folks,
and some pressure for increased rent following the building and
improvements they've been doing (some cow barn, eh?) - but she didn't
sound like she was planning on quitting by any means, and didn't sound
like she was expecting to move. In fact, they've got some sort of
long, long term lease on the Dutch Barn. So it's not that the fairgrounds management wants the festival to leave (according to a native, there aren't that many things going on there during the year),
but that they want a bunch more money. We may be seeing higher
ticket and camping prices.

All the rest is speculation, until we hear something official.

best, Pamela
