Bonfire 2008 - Final Update

Happy Summer everyone!

Okay... all the details of Bonfire 2008 have now been finalized, and our tickets are on sale at every outlet. This is a big year for us all... our last kick at the can so to speak. It's been decided that 2008's event has to work... or we'll very reluctantly have to call it a day.

So... I would like to thank everyone in advance for all the support we've received this year to get things back on track. I'm confident that 2008 will be a banner year and any discussion of putting Bonfire to rest will have been redundant.

With that being said, we could really use all the help & support you can offer. Any friends of yours who may be on the fence... light a fire under their arses and get 'em up to the Coast! All you committed Bonfire supporters... get yer tickets early! I think we're so close to finding the right formula for the long-term success of Bonfire, BC's own music festival & campout on the beautiful Sunshine Coast... so let's work together and make this a reality for many years to come!

Thank you all
Keither


Now for the finalized details... WOOT WOOT!!!
