This year's Targhee Fest was great as usual. Great music. Great weather. Lots of folks having fun.

My good friend Pat Markert:
 
 

Pictured below left is my buddy Sarah. Sarah and her family live in Casper WY and have been coming to the Music Festivals hosted by Grand Targhee for a number of years. I started taking photos of Sarah in 2008.

Several years later, I met Sarah's mother and gave her some prints of the photos I had taken. Those prints, I am told, have the honored place in their home in Casper... on the refrigerator door.

I was walking around the venue looking for my good friend Pat Markert when all of a sudden someone gives me a big hug. It was Sarah. In a conversation with her dad, he noted that for the past two weeks Sarah was wondering whether or not Rick would be there to take her picture!

The weather was funky on both Friday and Saturday but was projected to be better on Sunday. So Sarah and I picked Sunday as the day we would take pictures. Each time I would run into her over the weekend, she would give me a big hug.

On Sunday afternoon, Sarah got her face painted, put on her special dress and had a tattoo painted on her arm. I asked if she was ready for her photo session but no she had to put on moisturizer first.

It turned out she had all the photos planned out. She wanted photos of her while doing the hula hoop and with a number of her friends. I wound up taking around 100 photos of her that afternoon.
