FESTIVAL

Dear Bards,

Your Fest Posse will miss the meeting.

We'll be in Florida at the worst time of year for the best of reasons:

Family Vacation.

Festival chores are proceeding in a meaningful way.

Both our wrap-up meetings ( the general meeting and the prep team) were extremely creative and productive.

Expect an even better-run festival.

We will add a waiting list to ensure a full concert hall.

Expect a financially secure festival.

We've requested the camp fix the wood floor in the dining hall.

Don't expect much, but we may get a danceable floor out of it.

Fall Festival is booked and promises to be spectacular.

National treasure: Patty Larkin

International treasure: Beppe Gambetta

FP alumnae and budding festival, NYC and international stars:

Jean Rohe, Ilusha Tsinadze & Their Band.

Project performer, festival fan and jazz diva: Naomi Sunshine

Project performers and Fest Forward choices: Olga & Gerry,

Plus, the surprise hit that we're lucky to get, that you don't know, but you'll never forget:

Bing Futch, award-winning singer, songwriter, music composer and performer of Appalachian mountain dulcimer, Native American flute, ukulele and more!

All plans are proceeding as planned.

We enjoy being your Festival Chaircouple.

Mark & Robin
