Had a good time! I spent a lot of time at the Storytelling Stage, heard some good storytelling - including my daughter telling on both Saturday and Sunday. It was the swan song of the "Twinbrook Tellers" storytelling troupe, since Twinbrook Library will no longer be sponsoring them (nor will any other Montgomery County Library - budget cuts.) We're hoping that they will rise again under different sponsorship.

Saw just a few other acts - Ocean Orchestra, Finnegan's Jig. Musically, I think the group I enjoyed the most was the Rockville High School Pipe Band!

Saw Bill D in the crafts area, but he was talking to someone else, so I didn't get a chance to say "hi". Had better luck at the festival office, where I got to say hi to Beth, Dwain, Mary B., and Paul. Thanks to them, Bill D, and all of the staff, volunteers, and performers for once again making it happen!
