The Impact of Weather on Festival Experience

Attendees at the Winfield Bluegrass Festival faced extreme weather conditions that alternated between intense heat and dangerous storms. This led to discussions among festival-goers about the concepts of risk and chance, particularly in relation to lightning safety. It was noted that while individuals can make choices to mitigate certain risks, such as avoiding open fields in storms, other factors often remain outside their control.
