Hey everybody. :wave
So…as the number of days till the festival close in on us we were hoping to open up a discussion with you all.
After last year’s festival many of you that attended were gracious enough to diplomatically advise us of areas that you though were lacking in that “Planet Bluegrass level of excellence” to which you have become accustomed. Specifically, we heard lots of valuable feedback on the upkeep of the bathrooms in Town Park, and the availability (or lack there of) of compostable bags for you to use in conjunction with our compost bins. We also heard the calls for a reform and/or refocusing on the line policies and tarp sizes during the festival.
Obviously, some of these issues have very straight forward answers, and some do not have answers that are quite so evident (without drastic changes to the status quo).
Before we begin laying out possible solutions/ improvements to these issues, we wanted to make sure there was nothing else that needed to be brought to the docket. Are there any other aspects of the festival that could use improving that has crossed your mind over the winter?
If so, please get the discussion going in this thread. We know that we’re not perfect, but we strive to give you the closest thing to perfect you can experience within a music setting with 10,000 of your best friends in what could be one of the most perfect places on earth.
SO…if you’ve got some constructive critcism or something that you think should be looked at before we go at this for the 36th installment by all means, let us know. Please be specific, as it will help us pinpoint the area’s that really can help make a change.
We’ll touch base a little closer to the festival to address some possible solutions and/or improvements to any area’s discussed here.
We’ll be watching this thread closely, so as not to miss anything.
Thanks to you all for being the community you are. It is truly an honor to have you spend your summers with us. We hope to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
:cheers
