Good Monday morning Mountville family! We will have lots to say and share in these coming days, but it feels right to lead with gratitudes. And there are LOTS of those to share!!

This first one is for the Volunteers. It takes an ENORMOUS amount of work to get a property ready for a festival event, to plan everything out, to get it all set up, and to actually make everything run smoothly during, and then cleaning it all up at the end. Various volunteers were putting in time working on the parking and camping areas weeks before Mountville. A small army descended on the grounds Thursday afternoon and magically transformed the house and lawn into the beating heart of a magical experience. And yesterday morning the campers pitched in and helped collect chairs, tiki torches, trash and all manner of other festival stuff and magically restore our hosts' lovely property back into a home.

To everyone who put their caring hands, strong backs, big hearts and creative brains to making this Mountville so very special for everyone, thank you ever so much!
