Description


----
...these intrepid attendees of the famed Philadelphia Folk Festival, would be sitting in mud. And LOVING it! The stage on which the spectators are concentrating was covered, so the performers were able to stay relatively dry.
-----
As for the rest of us....it would only get worse by nightfall and the show on the MAIN STAGE!

Later that evening, the grand finale took place on the Main Stage!

Finally, shin-deep in muck, I walked back to the field which served as a parking lot for the festival, several blocks away. Fortunately my intrepid FX35 rolled right out of the soupy mud. #10956874
