I would like to thank Rafflesbearfoot for his excellent job of advertising this event which was so wonderfully successful. because of the painstaking efforts he put into this event with the help of the Crayside folk committee.

To Sue and Trevor who kept everything in order has only T.D.L. can?
To a wonderful selection of singers musicians who made this event work like clock work
