As sweet and clean as moonlight through the pines, here comes some summer fun in Georgia. The PR firm Team Clermont will host its annual Summer Festival and Blue Ribbon Ball August 3-5 in Athens. Featuring a bunch of national and local artists on the Team Clermont roster, the fest will include performances by the likes of Elf Power, Man Man, John Roderick of the Long Winters, Now It's Overhead, and White Whale.

The last night of the festival is devoted to the Blue Ribbon Ball, complete with balloons, photo ops, and spiked punch. (Guess what beer company is sponsoring.) According to a press release, the Ball will feature Elf Power performing "cover songs and originals in the manner of the proverbial, slightly cheesy ‘prom band'." (I wish my prom had featured some cool Elephant 6 band instead of that lame rent-a-DJ.)

There will also be a college radio kickball tournament on Saturday afternoon. Because if there's anything college radio DJs are good at, it's sports.
