Should any of you go, just down the road from the entrance to the park where
the festival will take place is a complex known as The Fantastic Umbrella
Factory that is worthy of a visit before the music starts.

The complex consists of a half dozen or so shops that feature such things as
stained glass, pottery, paintings, clothing, African crafts and, of course,
umbrellas. One shop, Small Axe, is operated by David Turano, a/k/a Davey Dread,
a potter and the bassist for the local reggae band, Dub Squad. He sells drums,
pots and lots between and always has reggae playing.

The complex also has a nursery, a coffee shop/veggie restaurant, gardens,
peacocks, sheep, chickens and bamboo.

The place is a unique treat and a relaxing respite. It's on the right heading
toward the ocean from Rt. 1 and is easy to miss-- gravel parking lot, no big
sign, vintage buildings set back from the road.

That sounds like a *lot* of fun.....and good shopping, which is a must.

Cant wait to go to that. I think if I had to choose which day, which I
probably will, I would go on Sunday. Freddie MacGregor and Big Mountain are
a definite draw.

Cod...and actually spent time in woonsocket and newport while growing
up, but had never heard of this area. will have to check it out
sometime while in the north.
