Finsterfest 2024 - Summerville, GA

With great anticipation and excitement, we headed out for Finsterfest again this year. Unfortunately, we experienced van problems and broke down nearly half an hour away. We were so frustrated as we had bought a new van just for our art shows. Three auto part stores, a newly installed alternate battery which killed the alternator, one dealership, two Uber rides, two vans rentals, one cancelled van rental, and loading and unloading the artwork three different times, we finally arrived at our destination. Despite all the issues with getting to the event, this year’s festival turned out to be the very best one yet. We met so many incredible people and got to hang out what the best folk artists and friends ever! We are so glad that we did not give up and head for home due to so many obstacles coming our way.

Leaving the van at the dealership three hours away from home for three weeks because nobody in the US had an alternator in stock and keeping a very expensive Uhaul van that whole time is a whole different story for later.
