Tuesday & Wednesday (8/4 & 8/5)   We left the Twin Cities area and headed to the St. Cloud area (actually Avon) for the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association Festival.  We arrived late afternoon and set up our camper.  Our friends Kim and Kevan made dinner for us and we enjoyed a nice fire in the evening.

Wednesday was a work day.  Sue helped organize the t-shirts for the 500+ volunteers.  Then the rest of the day we both volunteered at the main gate directing people to the registration booth.  Early arrivals were eager to start playing music and we could hear people play music at their camp sites.

The festival officially starts on Thursday but many people arrive early just to make the experience last even longer.  We are looking forward to hearing a lot of great music.

  1. Wish we were there!! Sounds like great fun. You must be enjoying your first full official day of blue grass festivities. Nothing better than good music and sitting around a campfire!

    (Paul and Monica - if you read this - hi to you! Maybe we'll see you when we head up to NY later this month.)
