what the weather gods hath wrought




The elephant in the room got up and gave a loud trumpet: for us Solstice planners, we never really talk about how the festival is weather dependent. After all, we have lucked out for the past five years. This year, however, the weird June weather swooped in suddenly and fiercely a bit after five o'clock, just as folks were arriving. The tents had been set up (thanks go out to Quata and Roger for many long hours) and everything was ready to rock. But not to be. Apologies go out to the crafters, entertainers, food vendors....but I guess you gotta know how to go with the flow with weather; and as I write this the darn sun is out. As the saying goes, "timing is everything". In an alternate time and space, solstice happened and was great. Just not this year! Onward and upward.

I was so sorry to hear that the Solstice festival was rained out! Clearly the weather is plotting against you. :-( Next year will surely be better!
