Wow! Impressive!

Here are a couple of photos from the festival Facebook page:





I'm very happy that Mathieu has been able to accomplish his dream of organizing a spintop festival in Britanny.  And with the giant whip top he even managed to upend the other fests in Europe. I wish I could be there (but it coincides with the Zapopan festival).

That's a cool set up with the power planer on a track to true the Big Top.  Can hardly wait to see it in action!
