Went last year with several friends. Although it
rained a bit, we didn't care because the music was
so great. this year I hear they will have a big tent to
seek shelter from the rain, should the skies open
again. Either way, rain or shine, it's a wonderful
venue and great music! I hope I win some tickets!
