Deluge at DelFest!
On Saturday afternoon, May 23, DelFest at Allegany Fairgrounds in
Cumberland, Maryland, was devastated by a severe storm. High winds,
heavy rain, hail, and thunder and lightning struck quickly and
violently, completely destroying many vendors' setups and merchandise.
Boomtown Hoops was blessed
to have so many people trying to find cover that they helped hold down
our easy-up tent. If not for all the strangers who helped us, we would
have lost everything. Thank you to all who came to our aid!
