There were flying tents this year too?  I have shots from last years flying
tents. I got there late Thursday this year so if it happened earlier in the
day I missed it.






Or had already started drinking.

Did you see the flying tents?  That was really remarkable.  Apparently the
same wind that got the Shady sent about 5 tents soaring about 200 ft in the
air.  Video on YouTube.

The last 10 seconds is actual footage of a Shady Boy awning in 30 mph winds
about 1 minute from self destructing.  Luckily it just completely dissembled


itself and nothing actually broke.
