Seven years later, they have nine rescues.

They cleared a spot in the woods, modified a few existing buildings, built a temporary stage and voila, a music venue was created.<\/p>\n<p>Easy Wind Farm\u2014so named after a Grateful Dead song\u2014is now home to two music festivals per year. The Powers plan to host more.<\/p>\n<p>By day, Katie works remotely as a program manager for a technology company and Danny works for R.L. Self Timber in Lively. Come Halloween weekend, they\u2019ll host a daylong festival including bands, craft vendors and food trucks.<\/p>\n<p>The Powers had had a vacation home since 2006 at Chesapeake Beach and decided they wanted to move to the Northern Neck permanently. In 2015, the couple bought the 10-acre property in Burgess. The home had been empty for about seven years. The yard was overgrown with weeds and trees but the home had been remodeled inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe both thought what a cool place to have a band, bonfire and have the neighbors over,\u201d said Katie.<\/p>\n<p>One thing led to another and in 2020\u2014yes, in the midst of COVID-19\u2014they held their first Halloween weekend festival. The event is Woodstock-like in that folks pitch tents, car camp and spend the weekend listening to a mix of music genres.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Halloween music event<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>General admission tickets to Halloween at Easy Wind Farm are $25 each, with additional fees for camping. The event, on October 29, is family friendly and children 12 and younger are free.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Easywindpresents\"> Tickets are sold in advance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cWe were hesitant, but we were outside with lots of space to distance,\u201d said Katie. \u201cAnd everybody loved it. We had about 200 people. I mean, no one had seen live music in about eight months. They were ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They were also a little hesitant because they didn\u2019t want to offend any of their neighbors.<br \/>\n\u201cI learned,\u201d said Danny. \u201cYou can\u2019t come on the Northern Neck rippin\u2019 and snortin\u2019.

Halloween at Easy Wind Farm, from 2 p.m until midnight, will include four bands and feature Last Fair Deal, a seven-piece Grateful Dead tribute band from Hampton Roads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited because this band doesn\u2019t cross the tunnel often,\u201d said Danny.<\/p>\n<p>The event also will feature the Easy Wind All Star Band, Slingshot on Mars and Shady Dawgz Trio. Slingshot on Mars is a four-piece Richmond-based band that plays original jams and improvised covers. Shady Dawgz plays its acoustic grooves in venues throughout Richmond and Hampton Roads.<\/p>\n<p>The festival also will offer craft vendors and food by Salty Bob\u2019s and BeauNuts, a pop-up from Petersburg selling Southern buttermilk donuts. Of course, guests may bring their own food and beverages.<\/p>\n<p>As a private event, there is a 250 person maximum and the music stops at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Space is cleared on the property for 35 rough camping spots. Limited car camping, on a first come, first serve basis, also is permitted. The rough camping spots include fire pits and the Powers provide the wood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a money grab for us at all,\u201d said Danny. \u201cWe\u2019re doing this for the joy and for the fun of it. People bringing families here, smiling, dancing. There\u2019s a lot of joy.
