Richardson's Wildflower Arts and Music Festival is next weekend.

It's a big weekend of music featuring: Bo Diddley, Jo Dee Messina, Tracy Byrd, The Austin Lounge Lizards, Better Than Ezra, Fastball, John Waite, The Romantics, Eddie Money, Le Freak, The Original Family Stone, Morris Day and The Time, Foghat, Shooter Jennings, Grand Funk Railroad and Paramount’s LaserSpectacular featuring the Music of Pink Floyd.

I'm personally most excited by The Family Stone, even sans Sly.

We have a big prize package for those who are inclined to get cool stuff for free. There are two ways to enter:

1. Go to this page and post a comment indicating who you are most interested in seeing.

2. Send an email, copying me (mikeorren at pegasusnews dot com), to at least five local friends telling them why you use Pegasus News and encouraging them to follow suit. DO NOT SPAM PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW.

The comment and email each count as one entry. The winner gets:

- Two VIP wristbands to the entire festival. These come with a parking pass, access to the hospitality suite, and reserved seating at the big stages. Each wristband (2 for each day, for a total of six) contains five pull-off tabs that can each be redeemed for an adult beverage.

• An Interstate Batteries ballcap

We have a winner!

Longtime reader and content partner Scott Miller, proprietor of Slacker Country won the drawing. He had an edge, because he not only posted a comment on the fest, but was the only user who went for the additional entry by emailing his friends to tell them they should check out our site.

Congrats, Scott! The tickets and swag are ready when you are.
