Saying goodbye from the festival

The laptop’s battery has dropped to 18 percent. Seems like a good time to put this puppy to bed.

It’s been another year of growth for FloydFest. By Saturday, it had likely matched its attendance total of last year, 12,000, with one day still to go. The crowds were fairly big today, so attendance has likely grown by at least a thousand over last year.

More than 120 vendors selling food, clothes, gee-gaws and whatnots were on site this year, according to festival organizer Erika Johnson, who did not use the words “gee-gaws” and “whatnots”. Last year, there were about 100.

And I’m four days older and relatively sleepless. Same time next year.

    It was, as usual, a nice experience. Everyone should go to Floyd Fest, at least once!

    Let alone being well-run, folks from several States (not states!..of mind!) were so nice.
