“It’s by far the hardest and worst decision of the whole event – the creating and the concept actually seems easier compared to having to actually call it off,” she added.
“We’ve learned over the years to really secure it even just from the beginning, we have got everything strapped pegged and prepared for an outdoor event in October, so we are more prepared than we ever have been.
But still, the team spent about four hours securing the site and laying down barriers on Saturday.
She said for her business, storms were “very stressful”.
“They can cause a lot of sleepless nights, but it’s just part of the parcel of running outdoor events,” she added.
In an update on the events social media feed, Barbara told followers how the site had lost power on Saturday.
She said how the team would make this decision “100 times over” when children’s safety was at risk.
“The forecast was not wrong, this storm would have been so dangerous tonight, and completely terrifying for everyone involved to be under trees and near a lake,” she added.
