The Summer Solstice Music, Dance and Storytelling festival went off without a hitch! Having been on haitus for two years for lack of a new director, the festival returned this year (its 17th year!) with a vengeance. The focus of this festival is to learn: there were over 150 workshops each day in playing, singing, dancing, telling and related crafts as well as a performances stage, a demonstration stage and numerous craft and music booths.

Go see some terrific pictures (if I do say so myself: I'm the photographer) on my website:

Sign the guestbook if you're so inclined (I'd really like it if you would). And be sure to join us for the 2000 festival!
