Subject: Who's going to Strawberry?
coming up on the last weekend of august,
also it happens on the last weekend in may,
U.S. holidays at the beginning (Memorial Day)
and end (Labor Day)of summer.
www.strawberrymusic.com
this is one of the most wonderful festivals
any where! Tickets sell out long in advance,
so you should start planning NOW if you want
to come next spring or fall.
The location is Camp Mather in the high Sierra
near Yosemite Nat'l Park and there are 3 outdoor
stages, one indoors, which serves as breakfast
dining hall, teen dance location and night club
venue. The main stage has seating on the ground,
and the main meadow is surrounded with booths
for arts and crafts, luthier, music, clothing
and beveredges. The concession area outside of
the meadow has a large variety of food avaialable.
The camp grounds are under the canopy of large trees
and the stars are not obscured by city lights.
there is an on-site radio broadcast which allows
everyone to receive the music in their camp if
they are not with in view of the stage(s) and
there are workshops at the amphitheater and dances
at the meadow by the lake (where there is swimming )

and then there is the music!! which is always the best!
