With the good weather finally here, there are many people planning for outdoor fun.
One of them is Stephen Murray, who is planning a big party in Petitcodiac on June 20. Greenstock 2009 will be a day-long outdoor concert with a growing list of musical performers. The event took root a few years ago. They expected about 30 people and had about 300 show up for the show. A couple of years later, Murray’s wife passed away and he is quite frank about the downward spiral he went into, including drug problems. “I don’t mind flogging my mistakes, if what I tell may help others.” “Our security are ex-bouncers. If they see someone having a problem, they bring them to me and I buy them a hamburger,” Murray said. He said he doesn’t want people treated like criminals and is taking the tension out of going to a concert .
Murray also doesn’t want to see people gouged, so they can bring their own food. He is also having a well dug for a water supply. There will be a wishing well people can throw money into to help defray the cost.
