Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes
Sorry, I've been too tied up at work to post until now, but I really want to thank EVERYBODY who had anything to do with the festival -- the board members and volunteer staff who helped Tom organize and publicize it and deal with last minute complications and man the venue sites and product tables, the wonderful people who found rooms in their homes for performers, Barbara Benn for one of the cleanest most accessible websites on the internet, all our generous donors both corporate and individual who help to keep us FREE, the publications who printed news releases provided by Pete Hale and ably reported on the festivities, the providers of venues, the concert's sound crew, the performers who put on such an incredible show for the modest fees we can afford, all the singers from near and far who come to add their voices and the lovers of sea music who come, also from great distances or just around the corner, to listen, enjoy, eat and drink at local pubs and join in, if they like, on the choruses and everyone who has given support -- moral, monetary, etcet etcet.

Better weather would have been nice, but without the rain we might not have found how well the Discover Portsmouth Center can work into future festivals.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!
