Announcement from the Faerie And Earth Fest:
We have co-created a Special Discount Ticket to be given after donating blood either in their Blood Mobiles or at the Faerie And Earth Festival for $5 Off Adult or Senior Admission for either day. Our Goal is to have at least 33 donations per day. The process takes about 15 minutes of your time.
This Special Discount Ticket for $5 Off will be available at the Faerie Elaine Silver Concert at 7:30 pm at the Sanctuary in the Pines; 34 Lake Cove Road (off Rhett Drive); Flat Rock, 28731, after paying full cost for the concert. Besides receiving the Special Discount Ticket at the Faerie Concert, Adults or Seniors will receive a choice of a Free CD from the Elaine Silver Music Collection. The Cost of the Concert and the Cost of the FAE Festival is $15/Adult; $10/Senior (55+); $5/Child (5-15). Each a separate cost from the other.
“If you have not donated blood or you know someone who has donated, then we recommend that this would be the best place to do so at our FAE Festival.” Says Master of ceremonies, John Springer. “This truly is a Win-Win-Win for everyone concerned. In 2011 when I admitted to the hospital with acute renal failure and with seven IVs and a cath, I needed two blood transfusions during this time in the hospital, which was 22 days. I called myself the Holy Bag Man and then I ended up with, what I call, the Seven Dwarf Syndrome. Some days I was Grumpy, some days I was Happy, some days I was Dopey, some days I was Sneezy, some days I was Sleepy and some days I was Doc, however Bashful never comes to the hospital because you have to show your ass to nearly everyone. Doctors became Trolls. Nurses were Gnomes. You will never know when you need blood to reclaim your life.”
