Ready for the Platform

From the Homestead Fair archive, originally published 2014-03-01.

The tent is up and ready for the platform! We’ll have a crew of 25 or so guys today setting up the blocks and moving the platform sections into place. When the platform is done it will hold around 170 musicians and singers and the tent will seat around 1500.
