After the sun went down, the festival crowd - with each person carrying a 3-foot fluorescent light bulb - gathered under the power lines for the “Lightwalk.” Expressions of awe arose from the Lighwalkers as the bulbs began to glow in their hands. For the uninitiated, the Lightwalk may have looked like a backwoods Star Wars convention, but what it proved is that energy strong enough to power light bulbs is escaping from the power lines.
The Lightwalk seemed magical, but what may have been the most impressive part of the Rjwer Line Awareness Festival is that it was not the result of any large organization. The entire event was put together by Joyce Harman, Hunt Harris, Cory Koral, Alexia Morrison, Stephanie Ridder and Howard Weingarten.
