I've looked at the site for the time, but is there any other information about it? I'd like to attend, but I'm curious about who's playing there and what other activities might be there to do.

Here is some information I got from Kristin about the Music Festival hope it helps.


Four Winds Celtic Music Festival:We are still setting up our performer line-up, so the complete list of performers will be posted to the website very soon.  We will open at 12:00 noon and go on until approx. 10:00 pm.  RV and tent camping with shower house and flush toilets is available very near the faire site.  There will be vendors' shops onsite and the Sword & Musket Tavern concession will be open with turkey legs, shepherd's pie, steak-on-a-stake, sausage-on-a-stick, water, soft drinks, and cheesecake.  Since we are unable to serve alcohol, coolers with beer or other alcoholic beverages may be brought in, but not water or soft drinks as they are available at the concession.  Bringing in outside food is not allowed.  It is recommended that patrons bring in blankets or lawn chairs to sit on.

I don't know if anyone will see this, given the possible circumstances of Ike. But is the music festival still going to happen? Is it canceled or postponed? Were the faire grounds damaged at all? Is power out in that area?

I checked the website and all that shows up is a Spyder Internet webpage. What happened?  ???

Got this message from Dustin this afternoon.

Hi Richard,
Yes, We are definitely holding the music festival this weekend, Saturday from 12:00 till 10:00. The Hurricane took out our server so our website is temporarily down but the performers are coming and the advertising is out.

**************
So look forward to see some there on Sat.
