“Hello KT
Russell of Prairie Oyster just stopped by. He said the fest
is a class act-event. Loved the accoms, the staff, the tech
people. Also specifically said you were great. He'd love to
come back next year.”

“Hi
Debbie,
Thanks
for getting back to me so quickly, and I appreciate the
efficiency of everyone at the station.
Please
give my best to both Kelly and Craig. Carroll and I have not
been able to stop singing their praises to anyone who will
listen. What was accomplished and done in such a professional
way in such a short time, is absolutely phenomenal. They,
along with the contributions of everyone involved made the
festival without a doubt the best first time ever Canadian
event we have attended, and that says a lot because we have
been around for so long.
All
the best to you Debbie, and thanks so much,”

I sure heard a lot of wonderful feedback about the event though!
Really positive feedback! How did you feel about it for a
first time out? One other consideration....4 of the people
from the station who went said they really weren't country
music fans and were apprehensive, but upon their return, they
said, you don';t have to be a country music fan to enjoy the
music that was presented. It was all excellent. The word
'country' sometimes conjures up images that are far from
reality!
Thanks again.

“I would like to compliment 100.7
radio on the terrific Country Fest this past Saturday.
It was a job well done. The entertainment you managed to
bring in was an awesome combo. They all genuinely
portrayed that they were truly glad to be there on the
Island
for this event. I was impressed with the on-time
schedule. It is too bad the public did not realize the
value of the ticket cost. Even though, I had a VIP pass,
I have been to other concerts where you pay $45 for one 2 hour
show, so the $50 was not out of line. I hope the word
gets out how great the CountryFest was and that those who did
not attend, missed a great show and day's outing.
The shuttle service was a good idea, making the parking lot
nightmare non-existent. Pick up and drop off at the
door, what more could anyone ask for.
The number of Port- a- Potties was very much appreciated and
the sanitary conditions of them was well maintained.
Wash
basin set up was a hit.
We are looking forward to dealing with 100.7 for other
occasions.
The staff at 100.7 and volunteers did all the hard work and
deserve all the pats on the backs for a terrific day!!”

Hello 100.7 (K T, Craig and Debbie),
Dave from Prairie Oyster here. Thanks
so much for a great day / weekend! Your Countryfest event
was terrific! It was very well organized, very well
volunteered, very well planned and scheduled, a terrific
venue and the attention to detail you guys showed
and applied was second to none.
The entertainers were so well taken care of and it showed by
the smiles on their faces and by your constant stopping by
to check up on them. A negative word was not heard
anywhere by me or anyone associated with the band and that's
a compliment to all of you.
If next years festival is better than this years... then you
guys are headed for one hell of a show. Good things happen
to good people and you folks up there are "good
people". Great hospitality, nice town, terrific show!
Congrats on a job well done, I hope you all are happy with
what transpired that day. You should be proud!

“To
The Island FM radio station management and staff:
Just
wanted to say thanks and commend you very much for your great
Country Fest on Saturday. It was just GREAT!!
We found
it to be very well organized and well done. From our own
Square Dance Jamboree's I'm sure that there was a few hairy
moments behind the scenes but from our perspective it all
flowed very smoothly.
I
congratulate you on having the students go around and pick up
the garbage- I know some people just walked off and left it
but on the whole it was kept nice and clean.
Again,
our thanks and hope you can have another one next year.”

Good Job”

“Good Morning!
I just wanted to drop a line and tell you how much we enjoyed
the festival on Saturday. If we had to pick something
negative it would have been that it was so hellishly hot, but
hey that's way way better than being cold or rainy so you
can't even count that as a negative.
Keep up the great work. We wish we could get your
station down here in Parry Sound. We really hope that
yous will be able to have a 2 or 3 day festival next year with
camping as well. Your station needs to be commended for
a great job well done. the organization was superb. Also
kudos to the town for letting yous use
Low
Island
for your venue.”

“Had to email you and tell you all what a great time my daughters
and I had at the Countryfest on Saturday. I can't even
begin to imagine all the time and effort that went into this
endeavor, but I can sure tell you how much three chicks from
Mindemoya enjoyed themselves and appreciated all of the hard
work.
The performers were awesome and gracious with their time, the
volunteers were helpful and plentiful, and Mother Nature was
kind enough to wait until Sunday to open her skies. What
more can one ask for?
Mindemoya, Ont
Kudos to one and all !!”
“The whole day at Country Fest was awesome.....my girls had a
great time and it was nice to spend the day as a family doing
something we all enjoy. Looking forward to next years
event and the girls say they are buying their tickets in
January !!!!!”

Hey
Guy's; I just wanted to tell you all that I know just how much
work has to go in to putting on an event like Country
Fest, and want to say Thank You Very Much. It sure
looks like this will become a main attraction for The Big Isle
from now on.
Congratulations’
Bernie
It
was great. 4 girls from South bay mouth area went and had lots
of fun. looking forward to next years it was well worth the 50
bucks. also it sure was nice to go to the outhouses they were
very clean and smelt good most events are dirty this one
was very well organized . Sharlene
Hey
guys, what an awesome job. Already exited and anticipating the
2008 country fest. I do have one suggestion though, I
know it would be an added expense but I would have loved
to have had a t-shirt that had a 100.7 or country fest
logo with the year and list of performers of the 2007 country
fest as a keepsake. I did buy a manitoulin rocks t-shirt and
got it signed by all the artists which is great. I'm
still smiling that's how much fun I had. To everyone who
helped put everything together, Thank-you sooooooooo much
for all your hard work, It sure payed off.
