I had a chance to attend a Life is Good Festival preview party this past week at the ”Life is Good” store in Boston, MA. I got a chance to speak with Bert and John Jacobs a little bit and I learned quite a bit about the cause and their inspiration behind the festival. If that event was any kind of reflection on the amazing event that the Life is Good Festival is going to be, everyone who gets to attend will be in for a real treat!
Besides the fact that it’s going to be a super fun event, the proceeds are going to charity – sounds like a win/win to me. For more information visit the Life is Good Festival website!
