Thursday to Sunday (8/4 to 8/9) Once again, sorry for not posting more regularly.   The nearest wifi hot spot was about 45 minutes away.

 We have been at the Bluegrass Festival and are having a great time volunteering and listening to music.  The music runs all day and there are many activities for families and individuals wanting to improve their music skills (of which Rich and I have none.) The camp grounds are very nice (see picture.)

There are many nationally known performers and many up-and-coming groups (see picture.)  The music is really high quality and the festival is very well run.   The range of food vendors is great - too much good food in one place!  The festival events are alcohol free and so there are no unruly or out of order people - just folks enjoying themselves (see picture.)  

Last night, Rich and I went to the showcase tent where they have all kinds of activities.  We did some dancing - correction - we fell over our feet attempting to dance.   They were calling some square dances and we had fun trying.   The great part about this group is they are all about having a good time and don't care if you mess up.  

We left this morning and are planning to drive pretty much straight home.   We expect to be home by Tuesday night.  At the rate we are going though, we won't make it.  We have given no less than ten tours of the T@B today.  It has probably slowed us down by about three hours. We have enjoyed talking to everyone today.
