The 2010 Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance.

Grassroots turns 20... many good times here...many, many good and great bands over the years. Grace and I camped with the Byrons and Banfords and survived the humidity and thunderstorms....Good to know the equipment can handle the hardest rains....the floor of the tent was a little wet sunday morning as we packed up but no big deal...so we used the pool, ate some fun foods, saw great new and old bands...saw our favorite dance troop during a horriffic downpour Under the roof of the grandstand...whew! Got to see many old friends from Owego/ Rochester and beyond...good times and good tunes with good friends...the best of life.

Gracie/Greyson and Marlena having some fun outside thethe dance tent.

Caught up with some happy folks from Owego...Good to se you Annie!

Galumpha has performed all over the world and they had their roots at Grassroots 1 in 1991...so they put on their usual very cool show...its a combination of ballet, human contortion and cirq du soliel...and in the middle of the hardest most violent rains I have seen in some time...they stopped once to mop up a fully covered stage...they kept doing these crazy things despite the rain blowing all over...very courageous...and of course the grandstand was packed so we all had a great time...the rain stopped halfway through, sun popped out and we were given a great big bright full arc rainbow to close their show.

See ya next year gang.
