A huge shout-out to Robert Tambasco, Drew, and the entire crew at the Amsterdam Clock Tower for welcoming us with open arms and hosting us last minute. Your flexibility and generosity changed everything.

Big love to Rob from Blurd Glass ( www.instagram.com/blurd_glass ) for providing the immaculate cups, and congratulations to all of our growers who took them home—well deserved!

Thank you to The MacS Band for traveling all the way out despite the venue change. That kind of commitment means more than words can say.

Special thank you to NYS Music and The Plug’s Pages for your loving spotlight on our event and community!

To our vendors, volunteers, and supporters—we truly could not do this without you. The last-minute pivot absolutely shifted the outcome, but the vibe was alive with love, resilience, and holiday spirit. It was such a gift to gather with family and friends right before the holidays.

Thank you all for showing up, believing in us, and holding space for community.

From all of us at Damn Sam Productions, we wish you a blessed and beautiful 2026 and beyond.....
