The Glade has become a welcome haven for the warm and weary travelers as well as a place where new friendship are being made, thank you for all your hard work

I have to say the 'Glade' has become a new regular stop for me...I have already met many new fellow festies and rediscovered old friends.  Had a great time today, the kids really thought it was cool, they loved the lemonade (me too!).


I'll be bringing fruit for Friday.

To all Fest Friend members,

If you haven't stopped by "The Glade" lately please do, the 'Member Survey' is ready for your input, take few minutes to stop by and fill it out or If you would like you can also just pick up a copy and take home to fill out then just mail it in.

Your opinions are very important and will help shape the off-season events as well as the future growth for next year and beyond. Liz and Peggy are already working even harder toward a bigger and better off-season with next years exciting growth in mind. ;D

Anyone that has been by  "The Glade" knows I have spent a lot of time there (and haven't been kicked out yet I might add) so to me it's been a great first year, I have met many new wonderful friends and look forward to seeing it grow and develop.

WE EXCEEDED OUR MEMBERSHIP GOALS!

We were hoping for 100 membership units/200 people and we ended Fest with 109 memberships and 218 people!

We're going to take a little time to to some laundry and finish compiling the survey results, then get some off-season activities planned.

Congratulations. I was by early on Sunday and you were at 99 memberships I believe. I am happy you passed your hopes.

And thank you for doing this and all your hard work !

Awesome news Peggy!


Thank You so much for setting all of this up.  You guys did a fantastic job. 

I did forget to bring the mirror I promised to drop off.  I will put it on my fest list for next year, and drop it off the Friday before fest starts.

I have to say a huge THANK YOU!! to the Fest Friends. They welcomed me in, allowing me to purchase a weekend pass, dressed me, laughed with me, gave me a place to rest and recoup when needed, and generally put up with my antics. You'll never know how much having the Glade as a center point helped make my experience of Minnesota wonderful.

Fest Friends Glade was an amazing HOME at MNRF.  I loved having a place to go when I was tired of trying to find a place to sit and rest!  It was also a good place to meet up with other people I was with if we had gotten separated throughout the day.
We recruited several people throughout the season and have a couple of friends who are thinking about it for next season...

Thanks so much Peggy and Liz!

Fest friends was so awesome, I can't tell you how great it was Peggy, for mere words just aren't enough. Such a great job was done, and it was a wonderful glade to go and relax at. Kudos upon Kudos to you all.
