folly fun - folly fest 2011

travelin toescamping area

sooooo. it aint easy leaving the coast especially in the summer when even crappy waves are fun. BUT sometimes music and fesivalities call.

Headed to Folly Fest on Thursday. Folly Fest is presented by a really nice crew of new brunswickers: FeelsGood

art and music -what's not to like?

I missed the first two years of this fest. My fav boppers did attend years 1 and 2 so i knew what i had missed. so when my fav fella got booked for Thursday of this year's festival, my attendance status was sealed. could this be the break-out year? I think yes!

awesome ATM on-site!

Folly Fest was very well done. it was a perfect festival for both seasoned festival goers and newbies.
Highly recommended.

and alledgedly, feelsgood did some fancy community work, raising funds to keep the local fire department in action. wowowow. talk about giving back. I spent $250+ (probably way more but that's how much I want to admit to - ha!) so im gunna make an uneducated guess and say that at least 100+k went back into the local economy cuz of Folly Fest. yay!
