 Thank you all so much for coming those of you who came out to In the risk of rain Welcome to the first park of Palooza of the season. It's kind of amazing that it's already August As you probably are aware we had to cancel the first three because of the flooding in Mobiliar and we're so glad to be back here doing something fun and recreational I have a couple quick housekeeping things and then I want to thank our sponsors and Say a note about the weather and then I really want to get out of the way and get the band going so If you need to you need to use a restroom There's a bathroom up by the shelter there Which is available this one here is almost done. It would have been done if not for the flood Along with the stone stairs. We had big plans this year for improvements. We'll keep working on them hopefully by the end of the summer and and If you're hungry, please get some food. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard it's delicious and that is where I'll be going next Let's see if you Need or some but know someone who needs parking very close by we do have a few Handicap accessible spots right in the parking lot here and it's a much easier walk Or we can shuttle people out to the field if need be Next I want to say a note about the weather We are keeping a close eye on it. It's looking pretty good right now It looks like the storms are over Middlebury Burlington area and it's not entirely clear if it's going to come Into Montpelier or go north of us. So if we do have to close things down We'll try to give folks 15 20 minutes of warning so that we can shut the band down Get all this stuff put away and get you back to your cars Safely so stay tuned on that but in the meantime, we'll keep rolling Next I want to thank our sponsors Without them this wouldn't be possible all of the money that they put toward this event goes toward the bands So the presenting sponsor for today's event is VSCU So give it up for them. Thank you very much. They've been a long time sponsor for us and all the other Sponsors, I don't know my cheat sheet. So I'm gonna look at this banner got Bar Hill Fox Fire Tree Company National Life Group Community National Bank Representing sponsors Eichenberg Insurance Agency and Hunger Mountain Co-op also and then our supporting sponsors are Bulldog Metal Recycling Capital Grounds Fectile Homes the Wayside Restaurant and Sarduchies So if you find yourself at one of those places and you want to tell them that you came and enjoyed it I'm sure they would love to hear that feedback and as you as I'm sure you're aware the businesses need more help than ever now Next week we have a big event With Saturn people sound collective as the band probably some of these folks are in that band is my guess at least one And yeah, we're really excited to have them here.
