The Across-the-Way Productions team did an outstanding job of creating an event that was fun for children and teenagers as well as for adults.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this event to my family and anyone else who would like to spend a few days having the time of their lives in a beautiful country setting with a lot of other interesting people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/ff0124.jpg\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=300,height=388,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"250\" height=\"323\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Ff0124\" title=\"Ff0124\" src=\"http:\/\/www.making-ripples.com\/images\/ff0124.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; float: left;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a full day of music and bright sunshine, I only have energy to provide you with this small taste of FloydFest.
