RAIN, MUD AND HIGH WATER HIT BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL - But The Show Goes On

(05/31/2004)

Thunderstorms and rain showers put the West Fork River out of banks, flooding the festival grounds. Several campers had to be moved during the early morning hours and at least one had to be towed through the muddy water. The campers were relocated on higher ground. The musical groups shifted from the performance area to the park building and the show went on as planned. There was even some sunny skies Saturday. The next big event will be the Firemen's Bluegrass Festival in August.
