Incoming message from Don Young about Saturday's ultra-successful 2009 Prairie Fest....The power of nature was in full evidence at Prairie Fest 2009. People power, flower power, green power, solar power and especially, wind power blossomed into an overwhelming success. Estimated attendance nearly doubled from 2008 to this obscure little corner of Fort Worth.
Why? The answer my friend is... nah, that's too easy. I want you to tell us what Prairie Fest means to you.
IMPORTANT:
I personally thank the dozens of Volunteers with a capital V without whom this festival would have collapsed under its unexpected growth.
Thanks to our Sponsors and Exhibitors and Artists who helped us pay the bills and helped you learn how to live lighter on the Mother Earth.
We salute all the performers who shared with us their talents and time for a good cause.
Gigantic thanks goes to the Prairie Fest committee of dedicated people who devoted an enormous amount of time and energy to create essentially, a small town for a day.
We are grateful to all who attended Prairie Fest and brought their friends, family and pets. We worked hard to make your experience rewarding.
Thank goodness for email because I owe a big Thank You to thousands of people. It will take me awhile to get to all of you.
Final NOTE:
Of all the thousands of photos taken at the fest, one really illustrates, for me, the kind of day it was. See above, Brave Combo horn player, Jeffrey Barnes, in mid-song holding down the wind-challenged stage tent while singing harmony and anticipating his next solo. What a day. Thank you all!
Come back to the meadow soon where the answer is still blowin'.
