A yummy Ticket Day lunch and a few concessionaires

Tickets for Folk Fest went on sale today and it was crazy... there were thirteen of us on calls and about half a dozen working the lines downstairs. The phone didn't stop ringing all day, and the line up was out the door all day. I'm now tending to a severe case of 'phone ear'. Anyhow, we sold out of Thursday evening tickets in four hours, and sold out of four day Festival passes in eight hours... exciting and nuts, but the show is going to be amazing!

I just wanted to give a big shout out and thanks to Tina, who provided hungry volunteers and us staff with lunch today. Yummy Italian Centre style sandwiches and pitas, quinoa salad and a pasta salad full of red peppers and olives, as well as pecan stuffed dates hand dipped in chocolate for dessert... yum. Here's a picture of some of Tina's amazing food that she provided for the line up announcement last Wednesday:

Just half the spread

Meatballs with a sauce that is still being raved about

Cucumbers with a creamy dill topping

Cheese!

Roasted red pepper and feta quiche

Dessert: more of those pecan stuffed dates, squares and fruit, plus a performance by the very fun Colleen Brown

I forgot to mention that our concessionaires for this year are all lined up: The Homefire Grill will be back in line to provide yummy bison sausage breakfast sandwiches, and of course Fat Franks, Kettle Corn and Green Onion Cakes will be around. But this year Irie Foods is jumping in, along with Numchock Wilai and Skinny Legs and Cowgirls... I'm curious to see what SL&C will be offering. But, as per usual, it sounds like good eats this year.
