Wildernest Treehouse MusicFest stage - close enough to done to call it done!

Shadow loves the stage and is intimately acquainted with all parts of it!

The final touches this week were the lanterns on each side of the door, the milk can, and - most importantly - the "tin roof" over the left side of the stage (over the windows and doors).  Click the picture to see it better.

The inspiration for the stage design came from a John Fogerty video that Alex has.  The main elements are the "house" with the tin roof on the left side of the stage, the tree growing through the stage on the right, and the extension from the front of the stage.  The one on the video was huge but we got the main parts. Presentation will also include colored lights.  The last things we will add for performance times are (1) curtains and a lamp in the windows, and (2) the Crossroads banner that will take up most of the space between the totem pole and the door.  The "wings" can also be used for sponsor's banners.  We are about finished too with the backstage part of it that includes a big built in table for guitar cases and a short ladder/steps to a small landing behind the door so performers will be able to enter the stage that way.  There is a small cleared area for seating there too.  We've also done lots of clearing in front too to accommodate the larger crowd expected.  Several trees had to go but that makes the area more "park-like" and it also gives the remaining trees more room to grow.
