The Floydfest X-perience
I keep writing Floydfest 11 for the year but the actual annual event is at year 10 and the Floydfest family has been getting a lot of mileage out of using the Roman numeral X, with words like X-traodinary to describe the 4 day music X-travaganza. Below is a sampling of scenes from Floydfest X thus far.
My sister Sherry and her husband Nelson, pictured here with me in the VIP beer tent, traveled from Massachusetts for the festival.
Festival-goers enjoying music at the Workshop Porch, one of the nine festival stages.
Two Toms standing on Tom Phelp’s pottery vending porch deck.
The view of the Dreaming Creek main stage from Tom’s highrise .
Donna the Buffalo, one of my festival favorites back for the decade celebration.
View of the sold out crowd from the main stage.
While waiting in line for my favorite pesto quesadilla my friend Emily shows off her tattoo.
Catching an impromtu performance of the Blue Man group in rainbow colors was a Saturday highlight. Video HERE.
A group of teens chilled out in the Global Village’s iBme Imagine Tent. This shot was taken during a wisdom talk given by my husband Joe (iBme founder) titled Sex, Drugs, Facebook and Ice Cream.
The heat numbers were up just like the attendance. We appreciated taking pit stops at the misting fans.
After attending every festival for the past ten years, I think I qualify as being Floydfest X-perienced.
I love everything about Floydfest but festival family time is my favorite part.
Note: Watch Donna the Buffalo video from back stage and with an appearance of my 3 year old grandson Bryce HERE. More to come …

I am so glad I got to have our annual run in. I missed DTB this year but got my dancing in with the Red Stick Ramblers. I forgot to ask Amy if she ever saw you.

Colleen, I love the way you have captured Floydfest. Your pictures are fabulous with family, friends and entertainers. This is just the way our family has enjoyed it, we celebrated a first birthday,Asa’s, with four generations there last year. Missed out this year, but our plan is to never miss another one. Again you did an amazing job!

Such good pictures. Looks like everyone is having a blast. Nelson & Sherry fit right in. And lucky them; they got to see Dylan and his family.

It is all so very colorful–in every way…! I was going to ask you if Deana came this year and I saw her Comment….How great that you get to see each other, even though it is fleeting…!
What a GREAT FEST!
