Michelle Prital sums up the Spring Festival in verse...

Best Show In Town

Once a year I pack a tent

And cram into the car

Fill it up with food and gas

And travel not too far.

Up North to the Galilee

Where friends and music wait

Hoping there's still camping space

Not wanting to be late

And as the lake comes into view

My heart goes pidder padder

For now I know I am among

The throngs at Jacob's Ladder

For two full days I'll re-affirm

My faith in human kind

Hanging out under the trees

Just trying to unwind

I'll spread a blanket, leave my "Post"

And trollop off to dance

Think someone will touch my things?

Up here ? There's not a chance!

For nowhere can I dance the jig

With kids 'bout half my age

Or stay awake till half past three

Adrift from stage to stage

I'll get in touch with whom I am

And the culture from where I came

Through the bars of old old songs

Of each I know the name

My kids don't know I'm watching them

Or why I shed a tear

Or fathom the enormity

Of an event I hold so dear

So when the tents are folded

And the trash is thrown once more

I'll go and buy those earrings

The ones that I adore

Then pack the car and head down South

The traffic I will curse it

But what's a little waiting

When the weekend has been worth it!
