Here's another oft-received gig-promo othersfrom someone I and others here (incl Max) have lauded in the past.

It's all a paste from email except for the date, where I added a comment, and one at the end. It IS an annual event, well worth attending.

The Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering is a fun and friendly weekend of
playing and listening to folk music - a fantastic three days of
workshops, concerts, jams, dancing and friendship. Activities are held
at Greenwood Furnace State Park in central PA, about 30 miles from
State College and 90 miles from Harrisburg. This is a gorgeous
location with beautiful mountain views, many miles of hiking trails,
and a six acre lake for swimming and fishing.

Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are
also options for singers, dancers, and non-musicians. There's a choice
of about 45 workshops on topics ranging from old time tunes to shape
note singing to playing backup to how to learn by ear. Jam sessions
will take place throughout the weekend.

For those who are new to music, there will be dulcimers and autoharps
for you to rent for the weekend or borrow for a workshop, and we'll
have gentle and patient teachers to get you started. There will be a
staff concert each evening, followed by staff-led jams, singing around
the bonfire, and a contradance with open band.

The cost for the weekend is $65 if postmarked by August 1 and $80
afterwards. The fee includes all workshops, jams, concerts, and
dancing. A meal package with 3 meals Saturday and 2 meals Sunday is
available for $45.

Camping is available by calling the park 8am-4pm at 814/667-1800. Let
them know you are part of the folk gathering, so that you may camp in
the area by the workshop activities. There are also hotels about 15
miles away.
