I mentioned Bonnaroo earlier in my blog, and have been out of town for two weeks… so I am playing major catch up!
Bonnaroo is a huge music festival (similar to Woodstock) hosted in my sweet little town. Over 150,000 people come for about 5 days and camp out in a bunch of pastures and jam to all types of genres of music.
Our church works with other churches in the community to minister to as many Bonnaroo participants as possible. Every year there is at least one death… due to the drugs and often dehydration with all the heat.
We host a tent that has free drinks and fruit and several snacks… as well as “air condition” and free place to charge their cell phones.
A good friend of mine, Tera, and I volunteered for an over night shift. It was awesome and I was able to share the gospel with several people. Looking forward to next year!
Tera and I on our way to our first Bonnaroo experience!

Bonnaroo attendees cooling off and charging their phones.
We had markers on every table and attendees could write and draw messages. It was interesting to see everything that was written. Most attendees were very appreciative of our free service to them.
Our tent must have been better than theirs’… so they camped out in our tent. 🙂
This is about 6 am in the morning now…
This is just one shot of some of the attendees and their tents….

Another friend from church Ms. Nancy… got their to help serve breakfast
All of our volunteer shirts say Peace Love Journey…so we were demonstrating that in the picture. 🙂
The four of us below were the overnight shift. We had a great time serving with each other!
Ms. Heidi is another volunteer from my church that got there for the morning shift.
Worn out, after no sleep. But already looking forward to next year!
