I've been going to the Winnipeg Folk Festival for about 16 years now, and I've never, ever encountered horrible weather like we had on Saturday. The coldiest, rainiest, windiest, most horrible day I can recall pretty much ruined a day at the festival. Good thing the weather was so perfect on Sunday.
