Okrafest attendees
From the roster of six founding okrafesters, the event has continued to grow each year. As has Lisa's angst over being able to accommodate larger and larger groups. That, of course, falls on deaf ears, and Mick keeps looking for ways to make Okrafest even bigger and better each year. Sponsors may be necessary if this thing keeps growing. We're thinking maybe NASCAR.
