Its nice to have an event AWAY from Toronto to begin with. Christie Lake is a wonderful place to host such an event, easy access from all directions, plus they have the exiting of the venue done so there is no traffic congestion, I have attended all 3 years so far, and the 2013 show was the most fun day even if Neil Young & Crazy Horse cancelled. Stuff happens. Now to my review, Sunny warm day, the lake was about body temperature and the smells of about 20 food vendors filled the air and mixed with the music wafting from the stage to fill the park with a great mixture of great sounding smells. We took advantage of doing some paddle boarding in the lake, a company from Guelph I think, set up shop and charged a very decent price to use their equipment to try something that most of us have never tried. The music kept pumping out as they set up a middle stage for acts to play on while the main stage is being re setup for the next act. Also if you are in the mood to walk around and do some shopping or browsing of local arts or crafts or information booths set up about farming and things going on in and around the local communities, well they have more than enough to keep you occupied until the next act comes on the big stage. Once you walk around, you will find yourself walking around the grounds again, realizing that you passed up a lot of nice things that you might just change your mind about and get on your second trip. I will be going in 2014 for the 4th year in a row. Its that good. The only complaint I have is that there are way to much space lost to lawn chairs. Yea its nice to sit on a lawn chair or blanket, but the size of the crowd with their chairs and blankets spreads a football field back from the stage, if there was no lawn chairs or blankets allowed the crowd would be no farther than 40 yards from the stage and everybody would be able to see great, but that's not what im suggesting, yes allow lawnchairs or blankets but the first 20 yards in front of the stage should be for standing only. Yea, standing only, its only fair. If it was not for the lawnchairs taking up way to much space in front I would give it a 5star rating, after all, these people on their chairs do not squish their chairs together, they spread out with 1 or 2 feet between all their chairs and it would be rude of me to just walk up and stand in the space between their chairs, it could start a fight but it really pisses me off that I have to stand way back with so much wasted space by ignorant people wasting space.
