David Versch of Dancin’ Dave’s Festival Camping writes: I am often asked: “What is your favorite festival?” As I am so very fortunate to be able to attend many very cool festivals, this would be a damned hard question to answer if it weren’t for Grey Fox…. I just finished a blog in which I explained why this is so. If interested you can check it out at http://dancindv.blogspot.com

It’s getting closer to July, isn’t it?!
Peace, David
