Possible display of photos and short stories
Does anyone in FoH have time to see if the Forest can display a guy's photos (pretty good and with interesting information about them) and maybe some short stories too.
I can pass on the dude's email address to someone who is interested. Maybe an up the stairs thing before the festival?
