Looks like fun! Is there a story behind the Wickerman?

Looks better organized than Burning Man.
Besides a REALLY bad Nick Cage movie based on an earlier cult classic, the Wicker Man was used (hypothetically at least) by ancient Celts to sacrifice to the Gods. People - volunteers and criminals- were placed inside the structure and burnt. Author Morgan Llewellyn used one in her book, "Druids".

Looks like a fun time. Wish the dollar wasn't so anemic these days...
I was checking the pics in the Gallery & was surprised to see so many folks bundled up in jackets & sweaters. At the end of July???!!!  That is just so incomprehensible to this desert dweller... especially since today we had a high of 109°F (42.8°C) (with 6% humidity)...
