It was another epic weekend filled with great music.
Dauphin's Countryfest wrapped up last night.
And, Countryfest president Duane McMaster was excited how the event went off without a hitch.
"I'm priviledged to work with 11 people on the board of directors, and they are all incredible people who put their heart and soul into this event. We have two paid staff and a whole bunch of volunteers that make this happen every year. And, to have it come off and everything go well."
Final numbers will not be known for a bit, but McMaster is optimistic that they'll be solid.
"Somebody sent me a picture of the ampitheratre from the Deana Carter show, and it looked like there was a really good crowd in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday. And, then I come up here to the hilltop and it is pretty busy, and full up here, too. So, that is great, at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon you often do not see it this crowded. And, Friday and Saturday we had at least six thousand or so people as well."
McMaster says work on next year's festival is already underway, adding he's hopeful that they'll be able to announce some acts by the end of this summer.
