Creation Fest 2010


The bandwithnoname rocks in the Main Shed. Lots more people attending than 2009.


Creation Fest 2010 involved a lot more volunteers than last year. A team from Calvary Twickenham came to staff the Welcome team at the gate and also the Information Desk in the Main Shed. Everyone had a great time, and they worked very hard to make things happen. Colin, Adam and Alan, the Welcome team, worked some 12 hours the first official day to greet, inform and direct the inflow of visitors and campers. There were over 1300 campers the first day.

The seminars were much better visited this year than any other. I think people are becoming aware that there the Bible teaching at the Fest is excellent no matter who they are listening to. They are receptive to teachers they have never heard of before.

Rather than camp, we stayed at a nearby bed & breakfast, all four of us in the same room. The bathroom door is open on the left. I took this photo with my back against the wall. It was practically all beds and very little walk space, but that was all we needed. The typical day was breakfast at eight, and then up to the Fest to work until ten at night. Go home, sleep, and do it all over again. 

Everybody was enthusiastic about the peoples' response each day. They are already talking about next year. 

Our part ended sooner than the Fest. We came home as tired as if we had stayed the full week. But we are signing up again, too.
