The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-09-09, Page 88 Lucknow Sentinel • Wednesday, September 9, 2015 Valerie Gillies Lucknow Sentinel Entrance to Lucknow's Music in the Fields was well organized and efficient. Many attendees throughout the 2 -day event expressed their wish to complement the Lucknow Kinsmen and all of their helpers and volunteers on being so professional in running such a large festival. Representatives from TicketScene, marketing and ticketing partners with Lucknow's Music in the Fields, engaged the crowd throughout the festival by providing the opportunity to compete for prizes in a game of volley pang. Several targets were placed at each end of the area. The teams of 2 or more took turns throwing volleyballs into the targets, which were removed one by one as a successful throw sunk a ball into it. On Friday, August 28, TicketScene representatives, seen on the left in white shirts, are Nicole Stoyles and Lauren Hummel.
