Pickin in the Park

     Well folks, we whole heartedly appreciate the wave of love and support over our lost festival this year... BUT.  All is not lost.  The festival staff would like to show our appreciation to our wonderful sponsors, and our loving fans by putting on a FREE concert! This concert will be held in the beautiful Skiatook Central Park on June 23rd, from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

     This concert will feature our festival home band, The Zoograss Boys at 3:00 pm.

The Jim Blair Band, featuring KOTV's Six In The Morning Crew at 4:00pm.

And the Byron Berline Band at 5:00pm.

KOTV's LeAnne Taylor will be our emcee, and it is sure to be an afternoon of great music and fun.  We will be passing around the "rubber boot" for dontaions to recover some of our finanical loss.  

    Our festival is still alive and strong, and would love for you to join us for our day of pickin in the park! Hope to see you there! 

The Year That Mother Nature Won

          Well folks, this year was a wash. (ha..ha..) Mother Nature opend up its skies and poured.  And poured.  And POURED.  4.5 inches between Wednesday and Thursday, and 3.25 inches on Friday.  Our lakes will sigh with relief, our festival however, did not.  

Most of the campers cleared out and the remaining staff was left to battle the current.  Some made the best of the bad situation..

Unfortunately we had almost everything set up in preperation of the festival, which made for a soggy clean up later.  But thankfully only one vendor had come and set up shop, and was able to tear down and make it out safe and sound.  A few of us lost tents, and others went home with tents full of flood water and grit. And greatfully no one was hurt (except for a few toes) and nothing major was lost.

But we lived, we learned, and the staff will be meeting soon to discuss what we can do for a plan B in the future, should we get some more of that famous unpredictable Oklahoma weather.  You can't keep us Okies down, and you can never stop the music!

We would like to thank all who helped during these unfortunate turn of events, and all those who sent their thoughts and prayers our way.  The fact that this year's festival was canceled just means that next year will be twice and great!

We will keep you all posted with any upcoming news or events.
