GrassRoots Set-up '23

 In addition to helping assemble the Infield Stage for the GrassRoots Festival, I went up early to help Alan get the community projects started.

 Alan got a bunch of picnic tables donated by Home Depot that came in handy as work tables.

We built the base for the pavilion that will be moved to Greenstar Market.  A complicated arrangement of using a Trumansburg village backhoe to flip it over was scrapped when an Andre the Giant look-alike and his grounds crew came by and we just lifted it and turned it over.

The smaller building is going to be a kids playhouse that will also go to Greenstar.

The playhouse model.

The stage went together the way it does every year: With difficulty.  But in the end, it works and with the exception of 2021 when a severe thunderstorm damaged it a few days before the festival, it survives and is the scene for great musical events.

Hmmmm, the current radar:

 I'll keep you posted.
