Lift-Off Co-Chair Jason Jesmer gave us his thoughts on last nights kick-off.

“We are happy to have seen so many friendly faces out at the kick-off to lift-off last night at Au Vieux Duluth. Our goal was to listen to the community and bring more diversity and showcase local talent. Jason Mitchell worked very hard to bring the line-up together and we believe the value of the weekend is there. 30 bands for $50.00, not to mention some of the bonuses that come along with the purchases.”

Thank you for the quote Jason Jesmer, and congratulations on your team’s hard work again this year!

The popular annual summer festival will take place the weekend of July 11-14, 2013, with all events taking place in Cornwall’s Lamoureux Park located along the scenic and beautiful St. Lawrence River.
