Spindles Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, just being a sarcy old git, I'm sure that there are many accoutrements that make people's festival more enjoyable, I'd just begrudge carrying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlei Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 This list's a lifesaver. I always see something there where I think "Oops, haven't packed that!". A lot of the stuff is N/A though. Maybe it needs trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and I know you're trying to help, but we shouldn't encourage people to bring sky lanterns for the sake of the environment and gazebos as they take up a lot of space and will be taken down.
