Outdoor music festival by jam band Phish draws fans to Maine August 01, 2003 - Associated Press By Associated Press LIMESTONE, Maine (AP) - Traffic was backed up outside the former Loring Air Force Base long before the gates opened Friday morning for the outdoor music festival by the jam band Phish. State police issued travel advisories and the inevitable traffic tie-ups began early as cars and vans streamed onto two-lane highways in northern Maine. As many as 60,000 fans were expected to attend the festival. In Hampden, three people believed to be bound for Limestone were seriously injured in a rollover at 7 a.m. on I-95. Traffic came to a standstill as a LifeFlight helicopter landed on the highway to take away the victims. Troopers said the occupants were ejected and one person was trapped beneath the wreckage. The highway was closed for two hours before another rollover at 11:15 a.m. in Carmel slowed traffic again. No one was seriously injured in that accident. The Phish festival, dubbed It, was the first since the back-to-back festivals the Great Went and Lemonwheel in 1997 and 1998, each of which attracted about 60,000 people, doubling the population of Aroostook County. If this year's festival tops 70,000, it would become the state's biggest city for the weekend. Copyright © 2003 Associated Press
