Feedback

  • They really had the place jumping , high energy band -- Virginia S, Fair Oaks, CA, 6/22/2011
  • While I couldn't personally manage to see any of the bands due to administrative duties, we got nothing but positive feedback from everyone, and we hope ZOOM will be back for next year's festival. There were plenty of folks who came to the Cajun Festival specifically for the music, and we didn't hear a single negative. -- Jean Y, Isleton, CA, 6/18/2011
