Dear Fireflies, Part of the land where Firefly happens has changed hands. The long-time land-owners of the horse farm property on the other side of the rock wall from Laurelin, where we have upper parking and much of the woods uphill from Diode, sold last week. The important news is that the entire property was purchased by Dennis Zografos, a member of the Firefly community, with the express purpose to allow Firefly to continue in its current location. For Firefly 2023, the use of that property will be as it was in prior years, with the same rental agreement, with the new owner Dennis. Full disclosure: Dennis is a current Firefly Board Member. Correctly managing this payment within the Firefly bylaws structure is important to Dennis and the board, as is the transparency of this arrangement. The future development of the newly purchased land is in its nascent stage. Four members of the community, Dennis, Sage, Carly, and Dan, are creating a business entity to align with the values that are held by the Firefly Arts Collective organization <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/what-is-firefly/> and a plan that can accommodate our brightest collective visions. You can expect more information to be forthcoming in the next few weeks, including a detailed FAQ/Q&A about how this came to be as well as an invite to a community discussion during Firefly. To keep abreast of relevant news, all are invited to join an announce list by emailing announce-join@lists.nuthatch.art or by signing up here <https://lists.nuthatch.art/mailman3/lists/announce.lists.nuthatch.art/>. Thank you!
