If you haven’t heard the news we’ve been nominated by the CBC Radio 3 as one of the Best Music Festivals in the Country! I kind of laughed about it at first but quickly realized that this is probably the biggest opportunity we’ll have as a low-budget, completely independent festival to gain this kind of National exposure. Realistically, I can’t think of a better way to do good by all of our past and future participants than making a legitimate push to make a small dent in this competition, because at this point, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Even if we don’t make it past the first round of voting, we’ve already gotten people in town who didn’t know about FAM Fest to turn their head and perk up their ears… and that’s almost prize enough… almost.

As of today, we have 305 daily voters (via our Facebook Voter Reminder Page), ‘Attend the event if you’d like that same reminder.

We’ve also taken the CBC’s advice and created a Radio 3 Profile & Playlist… Check it out!

BIG Thanks to everyone who has voted thus far. Let’s keep the Searchlight on Windsor!
