Thank You All!

Fletch-Fest 2006 was a success and i have some people that need to be known and thanked, because without their help and hard work, there is no way it would have been as successful as it was... Bob and Hal Fletcher, Matt and Andrew Hoekstra, Jim Whelan, Bruce Platts, Mike Griggs, David Foster, Teddy, Matt Stanley, Shane, Owen, Dan, Paul and Judy Vallari, Sue Sawyer, Jan Palm, Karl Serzans, Tabitha (and all the other fine folks that helped at the front gate), Lance, The Warner Police dept. and all the performers... Mini Jacket, Tyler road, Lamont Smooth, The Mystery Button, Turtlebone, Michael Crane, The Vipers, Dan Blakeslee, Sean Parcels, Derek Astles and John Holden and of course my band-mates Beechwood.
Thank You all so much for working so hard and making this event a weekend to remember! Like my brother said on his blog... "Every single smiling face was a direct result of your hard-work." It is so true!
I also want to thank the 200+ people who shared the field and the weekend with us... I met so many cool people! Thanks!
We are already discussing what is going to improve next year, so i hope y'all will put us on your calender for the weekend before Labor Day!
Again... Thank You All!
Peace,

Danny F.

Wednesday night

We got the stage built last night and the tent arrived... the campers are already starting to show up too... Friday night will be an acoustic sound-check for anyone interested. This is a picture of the camp-fire last night with the tent behind it... pretty blurry, but so were we...

Work on the field continues...

We have been having so much fun working on the field and surroundings to get them ready for a great weekend of camping and music for all of you. Some of the boys got up early last saturday morning and built a really cool bridge, connecting The "day-parking" field to the "camping/concert" field. They even built an arbor out of sapplings. And we have spent the past two night mowing the lower field with a fine-mower and getting it cleaned-up. If you get there early enough on Friday or Saturday I will even mow your campsite. The place is coming along very nicely and we look forward to seeing you all there Saturday morning. Here's a couple more randon pics of Hal, Matt, Ted, Dan, Andy, and the dogs... See y'all this weekend!

New Moon Music Fest

Things are coming along well up at "Fletch's". The list of musicians and bands keeps on growing and it looks like it's going to be a great mix of tunes! Unfortunately my brother Dave broke his arm last night moving some equipment. Hopefully he will be able to play bass in time for the show. I'm sure he will... he's very determined! This whole event was his idea, so make sure to wish him well and thank him when you see him.
The dates for the show have been altered slightly, but i don't think it will mess anyone up. Saturday night (Aug.26th,2006)is the main night of Music and the first musicians will be hitting the stage at 2pm, so make sure and get there early and claim your camping spot!
My good friends Matt and Andy Hoekstra have been helping Bob and i all week with various projects and i gotta' give 'em props! They are great workers and a lot of fun to hang out with. Make sure to thank them for all of their hard work!
I will put up some more info soon, and if anyone needs directions just leave a comment on this blog and it will be forwarded to me... or you can write to me at beechwoodbooking@hotmail.com
I look forward to seeing y'all at Fletch's!
