En route from Juneau, Alaska to Cape May, New Jersey and having met the Beers the preceding winter in Juneau, we hoped to visit the Fox Hollow Festival. We called the number in an Albany paper and got some more information so we could go. We took six children, mostly ours, a big picnic lunch, and went there. It was 1971, and we only went one day, the children's day that preceded what we were told was the actual festival. It was a wonderful, never to be forgotten day. Other than the Boyers, and Bob and Evelyne Beers, perhaps Martha Nagler, I don't remember who was there, but I do remember the wonderful performances for children. My children long remembered Johnny Appleseed and reenacted it for weeks.
The weather was perfect, the music great, and the opportunity to buy from a large display of--was it Folkways--lps. I bought a couple, all I could afford in those days. We bought a few other things, and went on our way after the most wonderful day.
