You might be somewhat amused to learn that for some years now, the Northwest Folklife Festival has a different name locally! We refer it it as the "Northwest Forklift Festival." This well earned name refers to the tons and tons of equipment, trailors, vehicles, staff, support services (including police), required to present this "so called" FOLK FESTIVAL."

I wonder what Bascom Lunsford would say today if he could this mess?
