Often Liz and Tim will just pick a nice place in the area and set up camp for a show. The shelter at Olson Swedish Heritage Park was ideal. Storms had just passed through and more were on the way, but it didn't matter. Then the equipment failed eight ways to Sunday.Three days later, they went back to the same spot to do it again!
