The Grimaldi Circus took the stage a bit later than scheduled.  They made it about 10 minutes into their performance when the winds kicked into high gear and they were told to cut the show as a bad storm was a comin’.  And boy did it come.  The skies opened up and pounded festival goers with a steady hard rain.  It didn’t take long for someone in the crowd to slide down the muddy bowl.  And it took even less time for about 60 other people to follow.

Jake joined in the mud sledding too.  But he had to take it a step further.

    GREAT photos – fantastic material this year, I agree. Our collective lament is that we while so fabulous to see, folks sledding on slopes and swimming in puddles destroyed the grass. ComFest will be restoring the damage in the park but it will take time. We don’t think most folks even think about who will fix this kind of stuff, but these are the things that cause us problems when going to license the event in future years. Please help us share with everyone that we need to be kind to our parklands – in situations like this they are very fragile.
    Thanks and those photos rock big time!
