| This is a shout-out to the young people of Maskwa County! | |
| It was great to see several of you at the town hall meeting. Your ideas matter to us. I’d like to answer an unknown writer who wrote from the heart. | |
| As you may know, last year, two festival volunteers were injured in a car crash involving alcohol. We’re all really thankful they’ve recovered. | |
| When they asked us, “How about not allowing alcohol this year?” the festival organizers decided we wouldn’t have a beer garden on the new festival site. | |
| Drivers can only get to Bear Bottom Campground on Willow Lake Road. It’s a winding, hilly route on loose gravel. | |
| Like you, we really want everyone to have an awesome time before, during, and after the weekend of sweet tunes and starry nights. | |
| Because a ban on alcohol reduces the permits we have to buy and the security we would have to hire, tickets for youth aged 18 to 24 will cost 30% less than a year ago. That’s a bonus for you! | |
| Keep your comments coming. You can always reach us at Maskwa Folk Fest on SpaceBook messenger. | |
