We wanted to share some e-mails regarding JT. It was a wonderful festival for us - it may be our favorite one yet! Very successful on many levels! Thanks SO much to everyone who participated! And a super special thanks to Per & Eileen, we love you! G&T
1st e-mail:
As a first time visitor to JTFest I wanted to thank you. What an amazing and uplifting experience for myself and my family!
Always wary of touted "family fun" claims in a world full of selfish intent and bad influences, I was so pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness both physically and spiritually of all I observed.
Along with that, the wordless wonder I felt when the grace and loveliness of the music embraced me. Haunting and yet familiar to my soul, it entwined around me like a home I never knew I was missing.
Thank you for such a well run event. thank you for giving our community the opportunity for artistic and personal growth
thank you to all those talented people who shared the most personal parts of themselves in the music they created.
Looking forward to the next time. I will be bringing ALL my family to this one.
warmest regards

Greetings...
‘Tis Monday night and we just keep thinking about the great Didgefest at North Fork!! What a great weekend it was!!
We are your neighbors there, on Recreation Rd, and had the best time ever! Husband, Ron, is, at this very moment, trying to make his lips “flutter”, and send the vibes down his new didgeridoo. He took a workshop from David Blonski, I walked around, or bounced around, to the music of the jamin’ scenes at the park.
We loved the concerts!!! Jeremy Donovon is fantastic, as is Ondrij (?). The Wicked Tinkers were just too much fun! It was a privilege to experience all this in our “own back yard”.
At least as exciting as the music was the fact that there was no alcohol, no drugs. The aroma of incense floating around during the concert added to the star-filled, wonderful concerts!
Thank you! You’ve done an outstanding dijob! :)
Ron and Pat, grateful North Forkians!

Re: JT Letters
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 6:06 PMYeah...those letters capped the BEST fest yet. The no alcohol policy was a risky gamble, but it paid off BIG TIME. On the final cleanup trip on Monday, we had a very magical close encounter with a redtail hawk and a ground squirrel poking his head out to see if it was safe yet. -
