Anticipating an AWESOME day tomorrow!!!

Shade...it's on the way.

We ordered a 20 x 30 tent for Sunday, so a little rain or hot sun can't chase us away. Bring your chair! We will have some available.

Check here for Festival weather

Scattered storms have been predicted. We can get 1/2" rain the day before and it will soak in nicely. Just in case.......we will have the our biggest John Deere out there to pull anyone out.
Check here for updates that morning, or call, especially if you are driving far.
