Next year, October 18-21, 2002, at Camp Ramblewood again. It'll be a couple of weeks before the contract can be ratified and carved in stone, but put those dates on your calendar.

Reading a thread like this reassures me that all of the work that goes into setting it up is truly worth it! Thanks for all the wonderful comments.

Administrivia: I also forgot Shadowmonk in my listing. Mary LaMarca's other half is George Stephens, one of the greatest voices in our local circle.

And my favorite moment was probably the "What I learned from Folk Legacy" workshop. I've never been to a session like that one (and I've been going to folk events for decades now). Tributes are often formal and carefully crafted speeches of the mind; this one was just an informal emotional pouring out of love and gratitude from the heart to two of the people who have enabled more folk music than any other pair I can think of.
