December 27 - January 2, Omapu Station, Tahora

It was a great festival this year. The turnout was significantly less than in previous years, no one could figure out why. It made for a more intimate festival with a chance to get to know almost everyone. The weather was great with not a drop of rain for the entire week to test the new roof over the deck.

The photos from this year are a bit haphazard with no particular theme, it just depended on what was happening when the camera came out. Trude get the credit for most of these photos and I took a few as well.

I would like to gather the contact details of all of you who were fortunate enough to enjoy this celebration of friends and music. Please send me an email with your contact information.
