Someone with a microphone reminds you, several times, how much the cause needs you. You leave having done good and had, at best, an okay time. Good Folk Fest has torn up that script and replaced it with live blues, food trucks and shuffleboard. On Saturday, Oct. 17, Creative Clay brings its annual festival back to the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club for an evening with a refreshingly simple pitch: come have a genuinely good night, and the night pays for something that matters.
