    	<p>We&rsquo;re pleased to announce our latest project: <a href="http://www.islandmusicfest.com/">Vancouver Island MusicFest</a>.</p>
    	<p>MusicFest brings some of the most rockin&#x2019; music to the Comox Valley each summer in an awesome-but-still-family-friendly setting.</p>
	<p>This site was fun for us to build.  It ties in Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and e-mail marketing, and it was built so that MusicFest staff and volunteers can update it quickly and easily.</p>
