Please Come to LightningMoon, a 3-day proto Festival at THE OXBO near Westfield, NY Aug. 6-8 2010. Click on the "Location" tab above to find out more about our site. Your hosts, Bruce and Linda Florist, and friend Larry Cornett, are longtime festival organizers of the Starwood and other festivals. Along with Bob and Carol, The Oxbo's owners, we welcome you to enjoy the natural beauty and positive environment of The Oxbo Nature Retreat Center. Many folks have found this place to be the "home-away-from-home" they've been searching for and you'll find some familiar faces have set-up seasonal campsites in this positive, nurturing place. We intend to form a new low-stress, high-fun late Summer event that celebrates the season.
Come to learn crafts, commune with Nature, share ideas or just relax and enjoy the woods, the shaded camping and the company.
$25 includes Camping for 2 nights and 3 days, workshops, a Delectable Satyrday Feast and the PartyGras Bonfire! It's just $15 if you can only come for Saturday and Sunday.
Please, help us plan our first one of these! RSVP if you plan to attend just email: Linda@LightningMoon.com

The OXBO (right now) is a fairly undeveloped wooded site. It tops a hill, surrounded by a landscape of grape vineyards. The air is free from "farm" odors and the lovely shaded camping is dispersed throughout the trees on both sides of the road. We are gathering in the common area, which is quite a ways down the camping road.
Please bring a dish suitable for 6-9 people for the potluck planned on Friday night.
The Feast on Saturday night will be provided and constitutes $5 of your admittance fee.

- Roast Chicken Rosemary
- Roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and other vegetables
