Thread Name: Amelia (VA) Bluegrass Festival
Subject: RE: Amelia (VA) Bluegrass Festival
SNAKES?? Did not see a single snake. You mean the kind in a box that people stick their hand into and pray? So do you consider yourself a southerner, since you mention "yankee" festivals? I have to tell you, it was pretty interesting being the only "yankees" in a crowd of several hundred southerners, especially when the Lewis Family played "Dixie" and almost everyone in the audience rose to their feet to sing along!!

We go to 8-10 festivals every summer, so maybe we have crossed paths. We usually go to:

Joe Val (MA)
Strawberry Park (CT)
Old Songs (NY)
Fiery Hill (NY)
Grey Fox (NY)
Pemi (NH)
Podunk (CT, instead of Pemi this year)
Thomas Point (ME)
Hartland (CT)

Sometimes:
Jenny Brook (VT)
Brandon (VT)
Blistered Fingers (ME)
Catskill MT (NY)
Amelia (VA) - new this year

I've heard that Wrench Wranch is a good one. What do you play? What do you look like? Are you male or female? What's your next festival?
