Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival 2005
The Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival drew toward a close late Sunday much the way it began, with bands performing on stage and thousands of people having a good time. Festival organizers estimated that about 50,000 people attended the four-day event at Clinton Lake State Park, which began Thursday and continued until the last band - Lawrence's Split Lip Rayfield - was expected to leave the stage about 1:30 this morning.
