OMG! THIS SATURDAY!!!!!

we cant believe its already that time of year again! it seems like it was just yesterday when we were all shivering and splitting wood for the fire. but now its hot and sweaty and everything is green. 

saturday is shaping up to be a doozer. and it'll be really good to be back at the old location in virginville. Eckerton Hill Farm is in full swing, and on the hills above the filmfest are long long lines of really healthy tomatoes and beautiful potatoes. these are the days of wine and roses (and cool DIY films made by friends), the days from which you should milk every second; because in like next january, these are the days you will miss so much!

if you like eating meat, Jim Adkins will have you stoked. he's bringing his cool homemade DIY smoker to the festival to serve up some BBQ and other delicious stuff. just dont forget to bring your own beverages.

and do not forget to bring tick and bug spray. out here we are completely serious about ticks. we do not want anyone to suffer from lyme disease. please take precautions. and at the very least make sure to shower and check yourself no later than 24 hours after the fest.

you'll want to snag this year's shirt early before they sell out.

get here by like 7:30pm to insure you will get one.

 

and of course, be cool and support this year's VVFF sponsors. support local economies and support your friends' businesses.
