Peace ,love and happiness.
I spent the day at the Hilltop Bean Dinner and it was very peaceful and family-friendly. Most people won’t come to the Hilltop because it is supposedly so bad, yet someone gets stabbed at Comfest, not on the Hilltop.
It is just very ironic. I’m glad I stayed on the Hilltop today.
Yikes
I was down there all day today, and knew nothing about this incident.
So much for a peaceful festival…
