We were really pleased with the Contra Costa Fairgrounds venue and the cooperation which we received from all of the BLM staff.

The hardest part of the entire event was breaking down our little impromptu village and going our separate ways.

A Participant's Perspective

The wind did not whisper through the trees, but with great fury ravaged the village that layed so peacefully beneath the trembling boughs. A oneness pervaded, the children who follow the wildones pulled together in a valant effort to bring a stop to the sorrowful events that happen when there is a lacking of knowledge and support. As the 'Mists of Antioch' crept closer, shrouding the village in a piercing cold, these people of vast integrity fought back with moments of pure tearful wonder as they watched on, so caught up in the awesome moment that the world outside ceased to exist. Granted there was many a folly, as such happens in any situation, but far outranking these brief moments was the overwhelming togetherness, and deep-seeded cohesiveness that belongs only to those people who rode the currents and miles for a single agreeable purpose: To bring man and beast together in a safe and loving manner. I will forever dry my eyes when I remember back to that shortlived village; a haphazard crew come together in blazing glory that will now be echoed many times over because we not only survived, but invoked a precedent that cannot be ignored. Hail my new and old beloved friends, my heart will always weep with gentle memories when I cast my thoughts back into the not-so distant past, for it is the memory of your smiling faces that brings the light of joy to my eyes. Thank you all for touching me so.
