Has anyone mentioned…

Festiraunts? High class festival vendors with seating.

At 8,750 ft. Above Sea-Level, the entire place is a High Class Festiraunt! :lol There are vendors on the Festi=field. As far as restaurants from town along the rim of the field, nope, the town isn’t built that way. Sorry.

Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green

All the vendors that Planet Bluegrass brings to the festival are high- class…

GAH!!! I’ve got it!!! Is there a cure that doesn’t require me to wait 5 months???

Festience = maintaining positive outlook, Godly reverence, and patience all year round, with an annual booster in the third weekend of June. Hey it’s the fourth weekend this year, I guess rolling with the changes is also part of having ample festience. Perhaps it’s always been the fourth weekend in June? Temperance of ignorance must also be part of good even keeled festience. How come the spell check is having issues w/ festience? Time to add to dictionary. Still having trouble w/ it capitalized, I’m leaving that internal dilemma.
