I am so excited to tell you about the Cabin Fest Fundraiser, a family friendly fundraiser festival, that will be at Piasa Harbor Park on May 11, 2013 from 10am to 10 pm. The proceeds from the festival benefit the Cabin Restoration Project, a collaborative effort began in 2012 to renovate group camp cabins in Pere Marquette State Park, organized by the Sierra Club.

 The festival's activities will kick off from 10 am-3 pm with a 27 hole disc golf tourney, eco friendly kids crafts, geo-caching (GPS treasure hunt), canoeing, hiking, bonfire and drum circle. Musical Guests The Dream Catcher Project will perform from 12:30-2:30pm, Typsy Gypsy will perform from 3-6pm, with Blu Skies taking the stage at 6:30. Chris' River Market will provide Bar-B-Q and beverages for purchase throughout the day. Bring lawn chairs, drums hula hoops, or a blanket but please leave your coolers at home.
