| This page is for your viewing pleasure...A look into the very first Rothbury Festival - July 3-6, 2008... Below you will find an assortment of pictures that Lucy & I took with a Nikon Coolpix S600 digital camera. This music festival was put on by the producers of the Cochella Music Festival in Southern California. For this festival, 50,000 wonderful people showed up for this 4-day musical event that took place in Rothbury, Michigan at the Double JJ Ranch. Camping was in large open pasture fields off of State Highway 31 and the stages were set up in three different locations - connected by a spectacular path that took folks through the "Sherwood Forest". |
