First and most important we ask that our friends advertise this festival for us so that we can get a good turn out and raise a lot of money for these two charities. So please spread the word to all that you know to come and have a good time this weekend. Even if you can't come, let others know about it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. OK enough. I'll get up off my knees. No really PLEASE ! ! ! Thanks :-))
