2004
The 2004 Festival was held June 17 through June 20, 2004 on three stages. The festival did suffer many stumbling blocks. Large scale ticket scalping and counterfeiting led to only 7,500 paid customers while thousands more were able to enter illegally or through fraudulent means. Other problems included a severe thunderstorm striking early Friday morning, a child being bitten by a copperhead snake, harvest mites, and disorganization with the management and the vendors.
