This is awesome!!!

Maybe we can get some of the locals to give updates/pictures on the transformation at the Fairgrounds like years past ie. Blue rooms, stages, everything JF!!!!

[MegaJFester]

I remember someone doing that last year....posting picture of all the stages being constucted, flags around town, food signs going up

It was really great stuff in the final weeks before Fest to get everyone excited- so I, among others I'm sure, would LOVE it if someone was willing to post pictures!

I was not the inside guy.. .I took pictures from outside the gate.. someone else was working inside and setting up, and they posted pictures too..

BUT.. The TV station I work for has a camera on the roof of that tall apartment building the overlooks the FG.. I am going to figure a way to get daily updates from that camera and post them here..

WOW... it would be really cool if I could put a separate webcam up there!.. Gotta think on that.. :-) GETTING CLOSE!

If Easter is the last Sunday in March, the season ends on that day. It's always the last Sunday in March.

It's not "next month" anymore. It's "later this month."

I know, how cool is that! Now, when I click on the calendar on my computer to look, I don't have to change months! Just three weeks from tomorrow for me. Yikes, I'd better start packing and cranking out the buttons!!!!
