When are we getting the 2007 schedual??
Allison, as they become available. Most festivals are summer events and they have not booked all their entertainment yet, though are most of the way there. Then we have to wait for them to make their entertainment public and it’s not until a closer to the time that festivals typicall release their individual schedules.
I’ll have an overall festival schedule up probably in about a month’s time.
