Is Ichthus the solution to our annual drought?
You know it’s time for the Ichthus Christian music festival when the storm clouds start rolling in.
For most of its 40-year history, Ichthus has been plagued by bad weather, as Herald-Leader culture writer Rich Copley reminded us today.
For most of those years, Ichthus was held on the last full weekend of April and it always seemed to rain. And rain. And rain. More years than not, the site near Wilmore became a sea of mud by the time the festival was over.
After it snowed on festival weekend in 2005, organizers moved “Ickythus” to June in hopes of better weather. Judging by today’s storms, the rain seems to have followed.
But rain rarely seems to dampen the fun for those who attend Ichthus. This year probably won’t be any different. You can follow the action on Rich’s blog, Copious Notes.
I’m not a musician, a meteorologist or a theologian, but I have a suggestion: Move Ichthus to August. We always need rain then.

I am fairly sure that could work.
