It was a really friendly atmosphere, I would walk aound all day and sit anywhere and no-one ever told u to piss off!!! They’d ask if you’d had something to eat or drink or whatever. The Hare Krishna’s had a big tent and they fed heaps of people, the price, sit through one of their lectures, but no-one minded:) Kids got alot of free stuff, like ice-creams, corn on the cob, bar-b-que everything, it was one of the best festivals I had been to:):) Mind u I was only 14:)
