Williams said that Carrboro is so unique <br /> because the town government is dedicated to bringing arts to the community. "The town's support <br /> for the arts is pretty amazing for a town of this size. They devote a lot of time and money to helping <br /> the arts. It sets Carrboro apart. It is the most amazing thing for a town of this size." <br /> Terry Bailey, who has been living in Carrboro for over 30 years, also thinks that town's dedication <br /> to the arts makes it the perfect venue for the festival. Bailey said, "Anything you would want to do <br /> artistically, you can find here. You don't have to be an artistic mastermind, either. There is <br /> something for everyone." <br /> As performer and one of the founders See No Weevil, a Chapel Hill-Carrboro based eclectic band, <br /> John Soady said that the music festival is great because it brings the community together. 1 just <br /> like the fact that they block of the streets. You can walk from one venue to the next. And the <br /> people are great. It's just a really great thing." <br /> 10/3/2013 <br />
