Odyssey draws thousands to Camp Hill

By Stephanie Rebman

A lone teepee stood proud in the midst of thousands of concertgoers this weekend at the first ever Odyssey Music Festival in Camp Hill.

Many music enthusiasts chose to put up tents or sleep in vans or campers this weekend so they wouldn't miss a minute of the dozens of bands, vendors and outdoor activities at the Camp Hill Open Air Music Park.

Not only did people from throughout the state unite at the festival, many came from throughout the country to join in the concert. Lindsay Tabor and Seth Gifford came from Vermont after hearing about the festival, not wanting to miss out on the bands and concert atmosphere.

"We came here for the soundtrack and the weather," Tabor said. "It snowed last week in Vermont, and everything's green here. We came here instead of Vegas. We'd rather be outside in the open air and with good people."

Lew Anthony came to the festival from Auburn for many of the same reasons and said he was glad he came.

"I think they did an excellent job promoting it," he said. "It is the perfect place to have this. People in North Carolina and Texas heard about it months ago. There should be more things like this."


With a crowd of thousands of people, security officer Gary Henke of Birmingham, said the scene could get out of control, but he said concertgoers had been respectful of one another and there hadn't been any major problems.

"It is going great, and there are a lot of people here," Henke said. "There are around 4,000 to 5,000 people. There have been no knives or guns, just the usual amount of drugs. It is a good crowd, and they are just here to have a good time. There are signs up that say no violence or fighting, which have helped. We have no tolerance, and it's gone very good."

Joel Seawell, an Auburn resident, and a member of One Drop Reggae, said the under-control atmosphere was great for his band and others, and enjoyed playing in Camp Hill.

"The festival was great," he said. "The festival goers were very enthused and we had a wonderful time. Martha's Trouble from Canada kicked off the Odyssey Festival with their sweet sounds and the crowd was very respondent."

Other bands included Galactic, Rollin' in the Hay, Stewart-Mayfield Project, Matt Devine, Meteorite and many more. They played Friday and Saturday on two stages.

...but why do I care?
My head isn't in the sand.
It is of no concern to me or my loved ones that live in Camp Hill. For, the gathering was not near their homes and didn't disrupt their lives.
