Campers
are encouraged to host something at their campsites to let
people see what Bluegrass is all about. Many of the folks
who attend bluegrass festivals spend much of their time
behind the scene at various campsites picking. It has been
said that oftentimes the best music of the festivals is
between stage performances around campfires.
The fall show will be on October 8th and 9th.
Hope to see you at both festivals. |
