NORTH LIBERTY– It was one storm, one gust, one wet time.
The thunderstorms and high winds that passed through the North Liberty/Solon area on Sunday, May 29, damaged some equipment and saturated the fields where organizers had set up for North Liberty’s fifth annual Blues & BBQ festival.
Three tents were shredded after tables were carried up and over the tops of the tents by the wind, portable toilets were blown over, and the beverage garden area turned into a small lake at about 9:30 a.m. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured during the storm.
