We showed up Thursday, left on Sunday afternoon and set up 4 clear span structures, 2 40' pole tents and about 20 frames in between. The 7 hour drive up to Muskegon is well worth the results achieved by our crew. The setting at Heritage Landing is absolutely beautiful and a great place to have a festival. In addition to the Irish Music Festival, the park hosts Summer Celebration each year (a gigantic festival/concert series).
The spec's of the job changed a little bit this year from last. The Festival requested that we change one of the 40' frame tents to a 15m clear span. Its interesting to me that once a customer uses structures, they tend to not want anything else. The functionality of the new structure should be great for the Festival. They now have a tented area with a taller side height than the frame, and our structure can stand up to just about anything that mother nature can throw at it. Other than the changed tent, the project was very similar to the last couple of years.
We wish the folks at the Irish Music Festival nothing but the best of luck with this year's event and we look forward to working with them in the future.
