~ ART ROD FEST 2008 WAS A WET ONE! ~

11th annual ART ROD FESTIVAL 2008 was basically rained out by hurricane IKE, yet not a "wash". With our mantra of "CAN DO" attitude we put up several tents in the early morning rains hoping for a break in the weather.  The sun never came out, but a good number of hearty souls did brave the elements and we learned allot about ourselves. It's about the people!  Everyone who helped and who came did enjoy the day.
