The Klean Canteen

8.04.2011

Floyd Fest started a brand spanking-new tradition this year that got me all excited for more! Instead of serving beer in plastic cups they sold klean kanteen stainless steal cups that you purchased from the start. For $6 you got a FloydFest X cup with logo and it doubled as a souvenir, pretty groovy right? Some people were pretty upset about this development but I thought it was genius, and it definitely cut down on the litter Saturday night which can be a little overwhelming.


I'm hoping we can reuse the cups next year and keep the klean tradition alive. I'd like to see it extend even to the vendors who sell lemonade, juice and smoothies (they were still allowed to give biodegradable plastic cups). This year's festival was so hot the Beer Garden was almost filled to capacity the entire time and the new water filtration system definitely got broken in by the swarms of people trying to hydrate. Tomorrow will be the final hurrah for my FloydFest pictures, I still need to improve on my picture taking skills for next year. big kiss, bekuh
