LOOKING BACK ON GOMP-TOBERFEST 2010

Thank you to everyone who rocked the (field) house at Gompers last October 2010! Due to the terrible weather, we held the fest indoors - giving us a chance to shed the cold weather gear -and enjoy all the best things about an outdoor fest within our historic field house.  No bad weather. Plenty of great music, drinks, food, and fun were had by all.

Thank you to all the great volunteers - who seem to never tire, and always smile!  We appreciate your committment!  Please continue to support our sponsors, and thank them for making this community event possible.
