Falcon Ridge Folk Festival 2004

The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival had another sparkling year-- July 22-25, 2004.  The weather was bright and moderate except for the cloud burst on Friday afternoon that stopped the Emerging Artist showcase twice, left knee-deep mud in places, and made the parking areas slick and treacherous.   Bub had the crews lay down several bales of hay and that and the sun took care of everything except hayfever allergies.
