HMF is going to the dogs
Not only do people enjoy Happyland Music Fest (HMF) but the dogs have a great time, too. This is Herman and this was his second year at HMF. (I wish I had taken one with a human next to him for size comparison. He is HUGE!) Calla is a veteran. She’s attended all five HMFs….
