A crying shame that this festival gets so little attention (and attendance). It's got to be one of my favorites. The music was fine, with a nice mix of trad (Peggy Seeger, Jeff Warner, George Ward, The Mayflies, Roberts and Barrand), Contemporary (again Peggy Seeger, along with Lou and Peter Berryman), Regional representatives (featuring Matapat and Serre L'Ecoute, the MacArthur Family), good food at reasonable prices, and an ambience that's up there with Mystic as being a feast for the eyes and spirit (all this and swimming, too.)
   To quote Sandy Paton, some years back, "If I were a folk festival, this is where I'd want to live. "
