Future Eaglewood Audience
I always knew that Eaglewood was different from other music festivals. Now I am convinced that Eaglewood is completely unique. No wonder so many loyal patrons return to Eaglewood each year. This year, lots of new folks were exposed to our wonderful festival. Old or new, many attendees have eagerly shared their comments. Here are just a few:
“thank-you again for an amazing experience at your festival. Honestly, in 7 years of doing festivals I have never been in such a well organized laid back environment. From the boys at the gate to the MC…all of it was top notch !!!” First Time Vendor
“…what a wonderful time we had at Eaglewood 2011, and how much we appreciate the hard work, inspiration and dedication necessary to make such a memorable event happen. We’re especially grateful that we could bring our dog; he loved it too. We’ll all be back next year!” New Attendee

The survey forms yielded comments like “very laid back”, “setting is beautiful, nice variety of music – can’t believe I’ve never been here before!”, “relaxed atmosphere”, “Amazing! Family friendly, good vibe, bringing everyone I know next year.”, “Love it! All aspects of it!”, “Great music, variety in performers, easy going people, natural setting & 24/7 music at camping”, “I LOVE EAGLEWOOD – BIG FAMILY”
Thanks to everyone who assisted in their own special way to make this such a memorable event. An Eaglewood community spirit was very evident. Individuals, merchants and businesses extended their support in many ways; purchase of memberships and tickets, sponsorships and program advertising, attendance at fundraising concerts, donations of home baking, in-kind contributions, lending of equipment, willingness to billet performers, many hours of volunteer work, offers to promote, eagerness to assist. This community-spirited support is so appreciated by our not-for-profit volunteer organization.
Yes, Eaglewood is a special festival. Let’s keep the Eaglewood vibe alive and thriving. I invite you to share your comments about your Eaglewood experience.
