Happyland Music Fest – Part I

June 1, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….

May 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

The 5th annual Happyland Music Fest was a smashing success. Somewhere around 100 people danced, frolicked, listened to music, camped and ate here over the weekend. We all had a fantastic time.

The fifth annual Happyland Music Fest was a rousing success. There will be pictures and stories to come but we still have a LOT of cleanup to do today. And there will most definitely be a nap on the agenda. We slept about 6 hours total on Friday and Saturday nights. We *might* be just…
