Rain or Shine — See Y’all This Coming Weekend!

Howdy Folks —

With all the rain lately and a so-so forecast, we wanted to give y’all a quick heads-up about the Wild Oats & Notes festival this coming weekend. We got the crop sown early (phew!), and while we can’t tell the sky what to do, we’re checkin’ the rain gauge every day and keepin’ an eye on things. The show goes on — rain or shine.

A tip from the kinfolk to our west: Range Road 194 (aka Avonroy Road) is in better shape for haulin’ bales — so we reckon that it oughta be good for cars and travel trailers too. If you’re comin’ from the big city with a heavy rig, truck or car, turn south (right) onto Avonroy Road (Rng Rd 194). Continue southbound until you reach Township Rd 502 where you will turn east (left). Turn south (right) onto Range Road 193. You’ll be glad you did.

That’s about it for now. Check back soon for updates.

Can’t wait to see y’all!

— The Wild Oats & Notes Crew

P.S. Don’t forget your rubber boots and bug spray – Just in case.
