Corporate sponsors offer popular attractions



At Firefly’s Jack Daniels’ mobile museum tent, festival-goers can order shots, play trivia and learn that company founder Jasper Newton was a petite man who wore a size four shoe. 

A sign in front of the tent Saturday afternoon asked festival-goers to fill out a postcard with a message for the troops. 

But when a visitor decided to check it out, she found the postcard barrel closed. 

“It just gets really crazy,” explained mobile museum spokeswoman Kathleen Smith, noting that several postcards ended up on the floor. “We have to be careful about what gets in there,bag filter china,following with the development of business extensionand specialization, we booked Meiyuda as Trade Mark to produce kinds of Meiyudaenvironmental filter products.” she added, referring the messages.vag tacho usb version 

Fewer than 100 fans had obliged by Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, 600 had walked through the traveling distillery tour, which was the main purpose of the tent, said Smith. 

At the Toyota Hybrid House Party tent, several hundred fans waited in line for a free Firefly tote designed by silkscreen artist Darin Hoopes of Austin, TX. Hoopes, who travels the festival circuit with Toyota, said his goal was to silkscreen 900 totes a day. Fans got to choose between green and blue designs. 

A couple Delaware artists were on hand at Toms’ Style Your Sole tent. Firefly introduced Toms to the music festival world last year. The charitable-minded shoe brand greatly expanded its operation this year, with nine times the number of artists. By mid-Saturday afternoon, 900 shoes had been purchased. 

The wait was less than 45 minutes Saturday afternoon compared to closer to an hour at the Garnier Fructis mobile styling salon. 

More Toms designs were offered this year, including stamping, watercolor landscapes of Firefly scenes and a list of bands in the lineup scrawled on the canvas footwear. Shoes cost $68, including the design. Several waiting to dry featured portraits of hound dogs, the Firefly balloon and guitars. One couple, celebrating their one-year anniversary, opted to have a pair painted with lyrics from their wedding song,CK-100/SBB Auto key programmer obd V37.01 is the replacement of SBB Key Programmer.

The festival offered plenty of opportunities for risk-taking entrepreneurs. 

One T-shirt seller, who declined to give his name, sold his Firefly-branded shirts out of his backpack outside festival grounds.

The non woven material is long-lasting & fashionable. the man claimed he had made $300 in 15 minutes, eclipsing his sales last year. 

Hank’s Cheesecakes, one of the few smaller-scale food vendors, pulled out all the stops Saturday afternoon when sales manager Karl Clark, wearing angel wings with dollar bills tucked in the straps, began serenading fans. “There’s no waiting for cheesecake,” he bellowed. 

Clark said the family-owned St. Louis, MO-based business supplies several upscale restaurants in their hometown. Still, he said, business had been slow at Firefly. In the heat, not everyone wants a heavy cheesecake, he acknowledged. Evening sales were considerably better. 

Asked if Hank’s was facing stiff competition from nationally from The Cheesecake Factory and Junior’s famous cheesecake in New York City, Clark shrugged and invited a visitor to see for herself. 

In the name of research, of course, she bought an “angel wing.” It was a slice of chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick covered in nuts. At $7, it was her lunch. And it tasted like the freshest Snickers bar she’s ever had, minus the caramel and nougat.
