Presented by Kentland Records and Bump Promotions.

With the gate fee, 50/50, guitar raffle, and t-shirt sales, the event generated $4609.41 that we were able to donate to the D.O. it! Edgar County Cancer Support Group.

The weather the day of the event wasn't looking good. With a 70% chance of rain predicted for the entire day, we thought that we might be in for another muddy mess this year. The weather predictions were all wrong though and the day was beautiful. We didn't get an exact number of attendees, but with the money collected from the gate and a guesstimate of the band members and such that didn't get charged for entry we are guessing that about 450 people attended throughout the day.

We are working on getting pictures from the event up on the Event Gallery.
