Mother Nature is on one this year.

This morning at around 1am high winds caused damage throughout Raleigh, including tossing all SPARKcon's tents, supplies, and gear down the street. So now, for your and our safety, we are calling a truce with Mother Nature and canceling day four of SPARKcon XIII. Sorry, y'all.
