Woman impressed with Cavendish Beach Music Festival

By Jim Brown

Local business operator Sunny Gallant says she has absolutely no complaints about the July 5-7 Cavendish Beach Music Festival.

“I live on the road with White Sands and Tranquility and my next door neighbor rents his cottage out, so I get quite a bit of feedback from people on that road and because I’ve lived there I’ve seen what it’s been like from the beginning,” she said of the 11-year-old festival.

Sunny was attending the July 15 monthly meeting of the Resort Municipality of Cavendish.

“This is the best year ever. I did not have one trespasser on my property or the two empty lots beside me and the garbage that normally was on the road, there was hardly any litter on the road,” she told councilors, after they had solicited feedback from the public attending the meeting.

“Somebody else (mentioned earlier by a councilor) made a comment about the base music on Friday night. I could hear the base pounding but it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t fit earplugs in and go to sleep,” said Sunny.

“On Saturday night I could hear a female singer for pretty much her whole performance. I don’t know if it was Carrie (Underwood) or if it was one of the other ones. But then if the barometric pressure changes you don’t hear it again. That’s what, five kilometres? If somebody’s complaining that the base was too loud and it was closer than five km I can sure sympathize with them, because it was pretty loud on Friday night at my place.

“But it is every year. I can hear it some of the time every year but it’s not so bad you can’t sleep that far away..It’s not very late.”
