Thanks High Sierra Music Festival, hello Sled Wars

It was a huge year for the music festival and it seems everyone enjoyed themselves. This is one professionally run event! If you think it's just a bunch of hippies having a party, well, that's the idea. The truth is, this is a group of people that know what they're doing, and do it well. If anyone wonders if this is worth it for the community economically, here's some redneck cipherin': let's say there are 10,000 people and every 4th one fills up with gas at, say, 50 gallons, at, say, $4 a gallon. That makes $500,000, a half a mil. At 7.25% sales tax, that's $36,250, not including all the other taxes that go into gas. We haven't even talked about food, drink, laundry, yada, yada, yada. It's a good gig for us.

Next big event is Sled Wars. This event is going to be a big one in the years to come, wait and see. Keith and Kenny have lined up some great racing AND a show by Liv Fast. Some of you may remember these guys perform in Portola during Railroad Days a few years ago and they were flying down the main street 30 feet in the air on their motor bikes. Fantastic show. There's a link to their website on our front page, or heck, I'm done talking, so here it is now! www.quincysledwars.com
