    Oakhurst Porchfest Organizers Report “Crazy” Community Response

    Decatur Metro | August 17, 2015 | 9:00 am

    The launch of the Oakhurst Porchfest was just four days ago and already it’s looking like we may have a hit on our hands.

    “It’s been crazy,” said porchfester-in-chief Scott Doyon. “Our only wish going into this was to somehow get the neighborhood — both long-timers and newcomers — out and about, getting to know one another, and just having a fun afternoon of music. But the response has been so great, who knows what this will turn into?”

    The current tally of sign-ups? As of this writing, we already have 35 porches on board. And from them, we’re seeing the emergence of potential hot-spots within the neighborhood — areas where a concentration of participating neighbors is sure to make for a lively scene. Check this map of how it’s all currently shaking out:

    Now consider this exercise in simple math: If each current porch host encouraged just two additional neighbors on their street to sign up, we’d surpass a hundred stages our first year.

    Crazy.

    Speaking of, we’ve also had 24 musical acts sign up. So let it be known: Musicians, if you want to play, we’ve got stages to play on. “Y’all come.”, as they say.

    Host, play, or volunteer and help make the Oakhurst Porchfest one for the record books. Everything you need to know or do can be found HERE.

      Looks like we need some serious logistics planning to figure out how to hit a good set of acts.
