A Great, Safe Festival

It was so close, we live in--my family lives in Chapel Hill, it was just, we could just get here. And with a lot of kids, it was a great, safe festival. We came probably in year 2. Probably, thereabouts. And uh, so it just became fun for the kids. They knew they could come here and we would just say, "please, you know, come back to the tent at 6:00" and sometimes they did. But to take it a little further, then, we're both musicians and down at barn--the old barn right down there where the beer is being sold, used to be the equivalent of this, it's called the Coffee Barn Stage. And Ed and I just came on our own and played music there, it was a great scene. That sort of overpowered the sales aspect of that building. So it was moved up here and we were asked to run it. So that's sort of the whole arch of almost 20 years. Coming just as a participant. Becoming a musician down there. And now, for probably the last 5 years, 10 festivals, we've been responsible for it.
