We have been going to this festival for the last twenty years... as long as we've been married. Our children grew up there and our friends grew gray. It's held a couple of miles from our old home in western NY. The proprietor is a good friend. The event is held on 300 acres of pastures and woods surrounding a 5 acre lake with an island in it.

 Since moving to Kauai, Hawaii, we've missed a few. This year should be a good one. About 5,000 people will camp for three days to listen and dance to an eclectic blend of music into the wee hours.
