That's ok, Adrien. You are correct- We're reviving a small, long-neglected farm. Being away means there's no one to harvest and sell trees, perennials, and produce. And I'd rather say "no" and then find I can get there after all than promising to attend and having to back out.

My small role here is to keep kicking the thread to the surface so my fellow musicians remember The Apple Valley Music Fest is July 17-18, 2009. I'll be quiet now.
