Planning for the Folklore Society of Greater Washington's 2018 Getaway Weekend is underway! This is a great gathering of dedicated folkies from all over the US and beyond -- and we'd love to have you join us!

The date for this year's weekend is October 12-15 -- a bit later than it's been for the last several years. We'll gather at the West River Conference Center, on the Chesapeake Bay, and settle in for a marathon of informal workshops, singing, playing, jamming, and all-around good times.

We always try to tailor our program to the tastes of those attending, so we'd welcome your ideas. You can post them here, or email me at nlking2(at)verizon.net. If you'd like more information about the Getaway, go to www.fsgw.org, click on "annual events," and then on "Getaway."

Do let us know if you can come, and send us your program ideas! The Getaway is all about participation, so start participating now!
