~ 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.
|
Below is the list of the fine volunteers
who demonstrated the "CAN DO " attitude at this years ART ROD FESTIVAL.
