As you can see, you really can't miss on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. If you live within driving distance for day tripping or want to come to rough camp, give it a try. Last year the sound system was excellent, and when it rains too hard, they move the festival indoors. Despite the fact the thunder showers threaten this year, too, this should be a great time. There's wonderful field picking also.
