The Rockin River Music Festival in Merritt kicked off today with a roller coaster of emotions – and weather!  The day started off hot and lacking any sort of breeze but by the time evening rolled around the tables had turned.  The clouds and wind came in full force – making the bathing suit wearing crowd scramble back to their campsites for hoodies and blankets.

I’ve always wondered, why, with a strict zero tolerance ban on all fires – including propane – though people were still smoking and throwing their butts around so why not let them cook their dinner?!
