EARTHTRACES AT CORNERSTONE MUSIC FESTIVAL. EarthTraces set up shop for the 4-days of the Cornerstone Music Festival on a remote farm in Bushnell, Illinois at the beginning of July. Of the 25,000 or so Christians in attendance who came to hear over 200 Christian bands, nearly 1,000 visited our displays or used the climbing wall! It was a great time!
