More on CreationFest

We arrived on Wednesday just in time to set up quickly and get to our shifts.  We were able to go to CreationFest for free because we all volunteered to work 4 1/2 hours a day.  I worked in the box office selling tickets and handling any issues with people's tickets.

When we first arrived they put us about 4 miles away from the event in the campground.  Mind you I cannnot walk that far without the FM rearing it's ugly head.  It was about 110 degrees and I would have to walk this about 8 times every day.  By the end of the first day I was sooo sore, I had leg cramps and was feeling really ill.  Chris went to talk to the camp staff about it since we were staff and I thought we would be camping in a different location.  When we arrived the attendants (being volunteer teens) put us in the wrong spot without knowing it.  The camp staff found a place for us in staff parking that was soooo much closer to the event.  Like maybe 1/8 of a mile.  Yay for Chris!  We also were placed next to this wonderful man named, Robert.  Robert helped us set up camp, cooked food for the kids when I wasn't there such a really nice guy.  He was there camping with his family and they also were on staff too. 

The first night I went down to listen to Jars of Clay.  They were really great.  I had taken a picture of them but somehow, some of my first photos were deleted from the camera.

Here is a picture of Jason and his best friend Lee.  Lee is helping him take a camping "shower" by pouring ice cold water over him as he lather's up.
