Reign Bough Fiddle

Reign Bough Fiddle 2019

This was a festival was like none I have ever been to before. I knew it from the moment I saw dogs and children running around. It was a beautiful sight, seeing the sun come down and friends new and old working on projects all across the grounds.

Soon after settling in we waited for the upcoming storm. I had already spent a couple days in Edmonton weathering the rain and grabbing a new pair of shoes that don't leak.

While it was hot and Justin put up the tarp with quite a bit of effort. It was lovely that he did because little did we know that we had to set up camp in the rain and tarp he set up in the sunshine was our saving grace.

The following days one tarp became a handful and soon we were called tarp city! It wasn't as big as it could have been but the amount of coverage gave us shelter and over time we gained a lot of accommodating neighbours.

Everyone pitched in together and made sure that the tarps didn't fly away and pegs being ripped out of the ground by winds were being manned. The boys did a wonderful job taking shifts and making sure our humble sanctuary from the storm was tended too.

This festival was the first time I had ever been able to play with dogs and work with children. We quested and built things, making benches and bartering with children to only team up and finish all the adventures. It gave me a whole new feeling to what being a big kid would be all about.

I will definitely we going back since reunions are always a must. Next time I will bring more waterproof clothes.
