🎉 Happy birthday to the one and only Sam Calhoun! 🎂

The man with the plan, the vision and approximately 46 ideas happening at any given moment.

Across-the-Way Productions — and FloydFest — simply wouldn’t be what they are without Sam’s enormous heart ❤️, relentless energy ⚡ and slightly unreasonable belief that if we dream it up, we can probably figure out how to make it happen. 🌈

Thanks for keeping us dreaming bigger, pushing onward and building something pretty damn special year after year. 🏔️✨

Help us wish our fearless leader, chief instigator and favorite mountain-maker a very happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Sam! 🥳🎉
