Absolutely beautiful weekend! Thanks for all you do...JR in Ohio

We had such a great time down in Palisade! Made some stops to stock up on some wine to take home on our way out of town! ... What a great festival! We have gotten so many nice comments about all of
it! - Dakota Blonde

A very SPECIAL and professionally run event. I was so taken with the area that I'm going to
try to get my mother to join me on a vacation there sometime. Brandi from the Dixie Beeliners

I feel so honored and lucky to be able to do this and to work with you was just an absolute pleasure. All of the staff were great and funny and very nice. I can't say enough.

We enjoyed ourselves, our friends enjoyed themselves and the audience enjoyed themselves too! Mollie O'Brien

Everyone had such wonderful things to say about the festival and the crowd. In fact, Cadillac Sky said it was the best artist/audience match they'd ever had! - Cadillac Sky

Living in a town that depends upon the good will of visitors and therefore on the hospitality of the locals, I understand what it takes and why it is so important,  I want to congratulate you all on pulling off a great event.   SH - Steamboat Springs, CO

We wanted to thank you for a wonderful weekend.
 
We have been to Telluride, Lyons & Targhee music festivals & have to let you know that you did a great job.
The camping, fire rings w/ wood, port-o-potties w/ hand washing, drinking water, sunscreen, kids zone, shuttle – we used them all. The selection of performers, schedule w/ performers playing multiple times & the length of days, stage layout, sound/lights were also perfect.
The easy to use & informative website. The volunteers were all smiles & helpful even with our kids... one volunteer kindly stopped our 5 year old from leaving the grounds – Thank You!!

The ease of purchasing tickets & will call ticket pickup worked great  The vendors were diverse, knowledgeable & fun, even for our kids We were amazed at how many sponsors you had & felt you did a great job thanking them. We felt you hit a home run for the first year & we will be back.  Targhee has taken a back seat to Palisade & that is pretty tough to do. SM - Steamboat Springs, CO

We think your move to Palisade worked really well.  It's closer to a big market and an airport.  The camping was slightly better and allowing beer throughout the venue was a nice touch.  Otherwise it was about the same, preserving all the unique parts of your festival.  We thought you did really well with that stroke of genius.
