Calling ALL Lake Wylie River Rats!

The Committee for Fun in the Cow Cove has planned 3 music fests during the Summer of 2010 a Lake Wylie Music Fest with 3 Sunset Celebrations – a Summertime event held in 3 parts on the Second Saturday Evenings of June, July, and August

The Sunset Celebrations will all be held in “The Cow Cove” (aka Boyd’s Cove) on Lake Wylie. Artists will perform on a private dock. The audience will be folks on boats anchored out in the cove. It’s set as a laid-back-floating-house-party-festival that promotes area musicians and other festival-style performing artists.

June’s Artist Line-up……JUNE 12, 2010

YOU MUST COME BY BOAT

June’s Sunset Celebration will be a place of mellow chillness!

Like the pastel colors of our logo and the radiant whimsy of it’s musical note, June will welcome in the Summer gently, joyfully, and playfully!

The first artist ever to perform for the first ever Lake Wylie Music Fest will be …..

(…..DRUM ROLL on your pontoons, please!……)

And it seems like Ray’s mantra surely fits us river rats and the Lake Wylie Music Fest energy: “Eat, drink, and be yourself!”

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR THE FEST

As we said, Lake Wylie Music Fest is co-created by YOU! So in order to make this the very best event for yourself, everyone onboard your boat, and all folks involved, here’s are a few things that you need to do:

• It’s a Water-based Festival…you Gotta come by Boat! While, yes, it would be lovely that the Fest be open to everyone everywhere, that’s never the case with anything anytime. There’s always an admission fee or invitation-only deal goin’ on, right? So consider your ticket to enter to be coming by boat. The Fest is designed as it is for a reason. Will it ever be at a place where people can come by land? We don’t know … but we do know that this Summer, it’s all about the boats.
• Decorate your Boat ‘n Catch the Spirit of the Fest! String up lights, get colorful, create a theme, get funky, listen to where the spirit calls you and create a fun party craft that lights up the Fest with its own charm!
• Bring or Make a Drum – Just Drum! You don’t want to be the only one left out of the full-cove drum circle experience. Big empty upside-down water-cooler-style water bottles make great drums. Cans and cartons can be percussion. Create a shaker with beans or sand in a can. Or play your beat on your aluminum pontoons. Whatever you do, EVERYONE DRUMS!…and some of us DANCE too!
• Support the Artists! Everyone on stage and “behind stage” of Lake Wylie Music Fest is UNPAID. Part of the arrangement we have with the artists is to help promote and support them. You can do that by bringing money to tip them. You can also purchase their CD’s and other merchandise by clicking on their links to the RIGHT. At the event, a little boat will be coming around for tips. Look for a “Fester the Tipster” flag and make sure you give EACH time they come around! You can also show your support of other supporting businesses and volunteers by clicking on their links to the RIGHT as well.
• Prepare a Special Picnic and Create Unique Lake Wylie Music Fest-themed Cocktails! It’s an evening afair. You’ll want to arrive a bit early to get a good viewing spot in the cove. You’ll be here for hours. You’re gonna want something to eat and for darn sure you’ll need a few cool beverages. Dust off your funky old picnic baskets and dig some old Martha Stewart ideas out. Make special foods and drinks and make this an extra special evening.
• Invite Special People to Share your Boat. It’s all about creating your own magic….and so the right decorations, the right foods, the right friends!
• Be Patient, Honorable, Respectful, and Helpful. We’ll all be bobbing in untested waters and who knows what kinds of challenges we might encounter. Please be patient as we all figure it out and lend a hand to help when you can. It’s all about good vibes…so if you wanna feel good, make it a positive good time all around you!
