All, thanks so much for the emails, phone calls, txts, tweets, and facebook hits with praise for the 2009 Houghton Spring Art & Music Festival. The response has been overwhelming to say the least. Thanks to all the musicians, vendors, downtown businesses, the Scott MacInnes & the City of Houghton, Carlton Crothers & the SmartZone, Todd & Jessie from Brassard Media, Bonnie & Cynthia & the Arts Ctr, PJ Olsson, Good Times Music... I could go on and on. Thanks to Todd & Meghan for cameraphone shots in the middle of the action below. Again - my personal and sincere thanks to everyone! We'll do this again next year!!!

Check it out, everyone. This year's downtown festival is a little bit different from the previous 7. We'll be setup in the middle of downtown, right in the middle of the road actually - taking up two full blocks of road. Check out the musical lineup as well. Everyone has been working especially hard on this one. Please distribute the link, the word, and the poster around.
Take a peek at the commercial that is going live today. (nice job Brassard Media! and way to get my little girl in it!
