Rich Ruoff’s Sunday afternoon was a simple one.
He took a hot bath and lay down.
“I’m exhausted,” the director of the 2nd Annual Lancaster Roots & Blues Festival said around 5 p.m.
Not surprising, since he’d been running around like a madman well before the event started Friday evening, and for hours after it ended early Sunday morning.
Same goes for his director of operations, Sam Campbell.

A three-day music festival will kick off Aug. 8 in Adams County, bringing 180 bands to Gettysburg from 14 states and Washington.
Gettysburg Rocks will feature multiple genres of music including rock, country, blues, folk, ska and reggae, according to Rob Simon, the brainchild of the upcoming festival.
Simon, host of “Under The Radar” on 105.7 The X in Harrisburg, said he got the idea for Gettysburg Rocks from his daughter, Ashley, who was planning a fundraiser for Penn State Mont Alto’s THON group.

It’s doubtful there have ever been as many sad guitars and harmonicas in Lancaster as there were Friday during the initial night of the first, hopefully annual, Lancaster Roots & Blues music festival.
It was hard to keep up with all the music being unleashed since as many as six groups performed at once within walking distance of each other downtown.
“Woo, I hope Lancaster does this every year. This is a wonderful thing,” said a revved-up Karen Good, 54, of Conestoga, between searing guitar licks by Clarence Spady, which drew about 200 people to a one-hour set at the Lancaster County Convention Center.
All 28 acts showed up and performed to enthusiastic, sometimes intimate, sometimes large, vocal audiences.
The Dave Mell Blues Band is appearing at the Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown, PA on Saturday, January 14, 2012 from 8pm till 11pm.
The cover charge for this event is $5 per person. The Sunnybrook Restaurant is adjacent to the ballroom and is open till 9pm.
We hope that you, your family and your friends are able to join us at this event to help us support the Sunnybrook Foundation.
