Sunshades

Just a little thing to think about… Consider using an E-Z up or other “see- through” sunshade on festival grounds instead of the KELTY’s. I know it looks like the festival is sponsored by Kelty or something, but there are much better choices… 1st- the Kelty’s block YOUR view plus everyone around you, 2nd- the Kelty’s go airborne easily , 3rd- the way the Kelty’s are shaped and tied down make it almost impossible to get through the Kelty Forest.-much easier to just say excuse me and pass through an EZ-up…We used a Kelty for a few years but will never go back.

do you have a pic of this wondrous invention?

Love it, Debbie.

I wish we could stick the Kelty’s and the shade chairs back behind the beer tent and they could all block each other’s view all weekend.

Not that I don’t get the value of shade, especially for families with kids. But those folks do seem to intentionally create an impenetrable wall - which is what I’d do to keep drunk Festivarians from stumbling onto my baby (if I had one).

I wish the Planet would create a walkway around the east side of the Kelty’s so that folks coming from the hula zone could get straight to the green rooms.

I’m not against the shade either as you know we use one and my dermatolgist approves…LOL

I don’t know why but last year seemed to be the first year that we noticed this or it was much worse than ever before… PB- can we get a walkway this year?

ROFL. You should have seen the barricade we built one night the year my kids were a newborn and a 1 yr old… We collected all the chairs, blankets and backpacks we could ( borrowed from neighbors etc)and made a little fort… Then, we covered in lots of light up stuff… Of course, it just seemed to attract people to come on over and try and see what it was…lol
