LOL! Sorcha, the Ninnescah Yacht Club has 400 sailboats at Cheney Reservoir, 35 miles west of Wichita, plus an American Cup racing yacht tied up at the headquarters downtown. Probably a third of the sailboats would have bunks--maybe we could tow a couple to Winfield?

Only problem is, the Walnut River usually only has about 4 inches of water there in the campground. Of course, as I'm sure you know, there ARE years where we've seen the campers floating! (Are you SURE you can't make it this year?)

WyoWoman mentioned a zoo--maybe we should build an ark?

Bill D.--Actually, they started lining up for Land Rush LAST week; just won't be "officially" lined up until this Saturday (Sept.1st)! We figure there will be about 500-600 in line when we get there on Monday, and by Thursday (Land Rush day), there will probably be around 1,000 campers & RVs waiting. Little did Mr. Redford know what he was creating all those years ago, eh? But so far everybody's found "room to pick" and it seems like the music just keeps getting better around the campfires. You might give some thought to coming to the next one, just for an update (not to mention a heck of a lot of fun)!

Blisk--Yeah, thank goodness for WallyWorld, although as I mentioned before, John tries to avoid going into town at all. It still cracks me up that the Dillon's store in Winfield has a whole rack of music-related items in amongst the groceries! I think the Festival probably puts most of the businesses in town in the black for the year...even though the residents grumble about being "invaded by weirdos."

Floating the Scamp sounds like a great idea, if the River is deep enough... And if it's as hot as it was last year, it would only be a step out the door to cool off! :>)

An-ti-ci-pa-tion.....
