Adstock on fire
With a good turnout and a video documentary in the works, the 2012 music festival was a success.
More than a hundred people gathered early Sunday afternoon at Memorial Peace Park to hear an array of local youth bands performing at the eighth annual Adstock music festival. Four-year-old Anthony Archieri, of Maple Ridge, wore headphones so he could block out any music he didn’t like.

“It was really great, excellent,” said Adam Rayburn of Sunday’s all-ages alternative music festival in Maple Ridge.
Adstock continues to reach more people and with a video about it in production, Rayburn hopes to attract even more interest for the future.
“It will be a really nice video production,” he noted. “A mini documentary. I feel my biggest failure as an organizer over the years is that I haven’t had video or good quality video of it.”
Once ready, the documentary will be available on YouTube as well as through the event’s website at www.facebook.com/AdstockMapleRidgeSociety.
While attendance was good, Rayburn noted, “I think our turnout was a little lighter than I expected because it was so darn hot. And it was the first really nice weekend of the summer.”
But, overall, Rayburn noted the day was filled with, “Good vibes, as usual.”
