Yes you read it right; the generous people at the 2011 Mariposa Folk Festival were kind enough to pass along to me 3 Pairs of Weekend Passes for me to do with as I please, so I am giving them to you. As soon as I got them I started brainstorming about the type of contest I could put together for these super-hot tickets, what could I make my readers do…I was picturing some sort of Survivor style contest, you know standing on one leg for umpteenth number of hours….or maybe an essay written just about me (all things positive of course), then it came to me in a dream, yes I dream about contests, it’s something I’m working on. Why not have you (my readers) write me and tell me about your most favourite Mariposa Folk Festival experience, maybe a performer you saw, maybe you ran into an old friend that you hadn’t seen in years, or maybe you proposed to your one true love at the Festival.
So email me your favourite Mariposa Folk Festival experience and out of the thousands of responses I expect to get I will choose my 3 favourite, then those 3 will each win a pair of Weekend Passes!! Excited Yet? I am
That’s not all; I will also publish your stories in this Blog for the entire world to read what a great time Mariposa can be , so get writing!!!
Please email me your experiences to : sonicmoremusic@gmail.com
