  Hey Travis it was really great to meet you. We had a great time and I thought I would give some feedback on the whole night.

You need some bright orange fest signs to direct traffic flow. Lots of folks were lost. But I got to use my new GPS now that was cool. I never knew HWY 72 went around a turnaround..

Vendors in the hall  made for some pretty tight traffic flow and everyone needed a place to socialize. Should be off in a room at the end of that hall.

There really was no space to chat with friends, in the hall in front of a bath room... yuk.

Stage lights need tracks on ceiling, they were shining right in my eyes and it made it difficult to focus on the stage.

Sound needs some work. Vocals and instuments were a mishmash, and hard to hear clearly.

I absolutly love that the crowd was smaller, the rooms nice and warm and the seats were super comfy.

All the performers were a treat to hear and I am glad to be apart of this beautiful happening from the very first day.

Thanks for all your efforts and I will be there next year.
