THANKS Eric,
I'm ordering the book today.
You are so right, a festival that large would take time to grow and professional organization to keep on track. But, someone has to start it. I will be talking to some business people and craftsmen I know and writing letters to our Forestry Commission and some non-profit orgs that can help get things moving. We have a beautiful state park on a mountain here with lots of parking, hundreds of miles of walking trails, a lake, museum and declining visitation. This could be a great way to get people out there or we may find a better place. Who knows? But you have given me inspiration to start talking to people about it.
