The festival was blessed with perfect weather. Cool nights and pleasant days. It was just grand fun. The people were wonderful. Evart-goers always seem to be blessed with a laid back attitude yet full of friendliness and cooperation and this year it was even more prevalent.
Every festival leaves behind memories special to it.
This year, my own personal high points were because of a friendship established on the internet here on this very list. A young lady, Suzane, with whom I'd been exchanging messages for eight to ten months attended from Indianapolis, Indiana. I think I've ever met. She's a classically trained violist and is learning to play the celtic harp. The whole folk music festival scene was totally new to her.
