WinFest 2012 is a Wrap!
I believe it's safe to say that the 30th Annual WinFest Music Festival was nothing short of a success. It takes a lot of time, effort, resources, and people to be able to pull something like this off. And we'd like to take a little bit of time to thank those who helped us put this thing together:
Fist and fore mostly, we'd like to thank ,YOU, the fans. Without you Winfest would cease to be. We hope to see all of you coming out and bringing your family for another 60.
We'd also like to thank all of our volunteers for coming out to help us with the festivities. You all are awesome! Of course we won't be able to mention everyone specifically, but
Terry Reed, Gale Barker, Darin and Elaine Wood, Debbie Tillman, Justin Branson, Tammie Smith, Kelly Scovile & Mom.
You all are awesome!
We'd also like to thank all of our sponsors. If you have the time, please stop by their pages and thank thank them as well. These companies donate a lot of money and products toward making our festival great!
We'd be in a tough spot without them;
Airways Freight, JJ's Grill and Bar, Walmart Fayetteville - W Martin Luther King Blvd, Sam's Club Fayetteville,AR,Premium Brands of Northwest Arkansas, McBride Distributing Company Inc, Super Foods in West Fork, Pack's Storage, and Time Stripping.
We'd also like to thank Adam and Brad of Forge Productions for providing lights and sound. We hope that they can make it out for the 31st!
We'd also like to take this time to thank all of our musical guests that provided talent:
Effron White
Unsafe Mode
Slowtowne Serenaders
Left of Center
Willin N Able
Steve Pryor
and
Ben Miller Band
You gave us the beat and filled our souls.
We hope to see all of you next year on:
Saturday September 14, 2013

Making progress: 08/31/2011
We covered a lot of bases at this weeks committee meeting. Band performance times are now locked in and will be posted within the next week, details about the annual horseshoe tournament have been set (more on that in a minute), the film crew covering the documentary DVD sat down and discussed stage preparations, shirt orders are in and more vendors are being booked--these are just a few of the items on today's docket and plenty more details will continue to be combed through within the next two weeks in order to set the stage for the main event: The 29th annual WinFest Music Festival! Help us spread the word! Select the "going" tab on our Eventful countdown bar and share it with your friends!
Now to the tournament details: Time for sign up: 11:00am to 12:30:pm on September 17th, the day of the festival. This will be a team tournament. (16 teams of 2) The tournament itself starts at 1:00pm and ends when it ends. Buy in is $20 per team ($10 a person) Winners split the pot with the WinFest committee who are donating their portions to community Meals on Wheels and other various non-profit organizations. More information from the producers of the Winfest DVD suggests a change in the incentive to pre-order the documentary. Shouldacouldawoulda Studios has announced that fans who pre-order the commemorative DVD will receive a double sided Special Edition of the film rather than the previously announce History of WinFest booklet. Side "A" being the documentary itself, and side "B" being extended footage from the show including more live music, extended backstage accounts, and other special features only available with the pre-order offer. $5 Pre-orders* can be made in the Merchandising tab at the top right of the screen or in person at their booth at the event on September 17th. The producers, however, are strongly recommending that pre-orders be made prior to the event if possible so they can get a round-about idea of production costs. *WInFest Documentary DVD MSRP $20.00. $15.00 after pre-order. Regarding the 2011 WinFest merchandising.... Tickets may also be purchased on this page, online, by selecting either the "attend" or "merchandising" tabs in the top right of your browser. While there, be sure to check out the design for the 2011 WinFest Music Festival Houndstooth Press T's and beverage koozies as well as all of our other great memorabilia which will be available on the day of the event. Shirts and koozies will be in limited supply. We're ordering 200 of the 2011 designs as well as 50 of 2010's. Get there early. Go home happy.

"But wait! Where's that 'surprise' you promised?" I've been so busy getting all of the updates to the page today that I haven't been able to get to it yet. But don't worry! If it's not on here by midnight tonight it will most certainly up by tomorrow afternoon. As a matter of fact, I'm going to get started working on that for you now. So, as always, Be sure to stop back by for updates, and new information. We'll be here to keep you posted on all things WinFest! Oh.... P.S. That little "surprise" I was talking about will be up before the break of dawn. WinFest update: 08/25/11
Online ticket sales and DVD pre-orders will go live after 5 on Friday, (08/26)! Unfortunately I am not permitted to place the T-shirt order form online at this time, but it may be a possibility in the near future. They will, however, be available at the festival. How many of you out there are looking forward to getting your hands on one of these custom designed Houndstooth tees? Let us know in the NEW contact form below: l
l l V Also coming Friday will be an extra special treat for you WinFestivillians and Left of Center fans. "What could it possibly be?" you might ask. I don't suppose it would be that big of a surprise if I told you, now would it? For you shoe tossers out there: I was able to scrape up a little bit more information about the tournament. Rumor has it that some sort of buy-in will be involved and the winners of the show-down (it's apparently a doubles game) split half. We've still 3 weeks left until the big day and loads more information will be pouring your way. As stated previously: this page will be ever-changing throughout the coming weeks. Be sure to stop back by for updates, and new information. We'll be here to keep you posted on all things WinFest! WinFest preparations are in full swing: 08/20/2011
The WinFest committee has been hard at work for several months now to insure that the festivities and accommodations at this years event are nothing short of spectacular. This years talent line-up is solid and contains musical performances spanning nearly every genre. Houndstooth has once again designed a groovy-trend setting and comfortable shirt spirited in traditional WinFest fashion. Concessions and vending are being lined up providing everything from smoked turkey legs to Sno-cones.
Coming new to the event is a documentary style DVD commemorating next years 30th anniversary of the WinFest Music Festival. Pre-orders will be taking place online and at the gate. Those who pre-order will receive the History of WinFest commemorative booklet (that will be sold at next years event) absolutely free as a token of our appreciation. This page will be ever-changing throughout the coming weeks. Be sure to stop back by for updates, and new information. We'll be here to keep you posted on all things WinFest! |
