[Ads-l] -stock (festival)

[Chris Waigl]

I see Nancy has Chickenstock music festival, in Chicken, AK.
https://www.instagram.com/chickenstockmusicfest/?hl=en . It's a local
favorite. I was out today with some local school classes, their teachers,
and science outreach people showing off a wildfire site, and one of the 5th
graders was wearing a Chickenstock festival. She was happy to tell me about
attending it last June.
