If I remember correctly it was a combination of the hurricane the previous year and the fact the people often complained about the heat and / or having the festival on a holiday weekend. Peter tried to experiment and move it about a month later in the year. On the positive side there were no hurricane issues, but as I mentioned earlier, it was one of the smallest attended shows in the festival’s history. One of the other factors that came into play was that even though it was only a month later than normal, it was enough of a difference that it got dark quite a bit earlier. Storybook has a sundown curfew, so that factor cut into the time the bands could be on stage. In the end it was an experiment that did not really work unfortunately.
