Boy did it rain! In the morning during set up the volunteer crew had their gumboots for good reason ... all the while remarking "it looks like it's clearing up!". It did clear up, the sun came out and so did the crowds. The amazing 'Stage Bus' from Amsterdam, celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Netherland's liberation was clearly a big and beautiful hit. The musicians were as talented as the bus and they donated a memorial tulip garden to the town. This year our oldest performer was 91 and the youngest 4 with music filling the air for all. |
