Subject: Remembering Fox Hollow
A few days ago, after looking at the Beers family thread, I started thinking about Fox Hollow and how great it was. I thought it might be fun to start a thread to see how many others of you have fond memories of a festival that was a big part of my life every summer for quite a long time.

Any takers? What are your fondest memories of a great festival? Performers you heard for the first time, friends you met there, songs you learned there, etc.

Two things come quickly come to my mind. First, the year the Dartington Morris Team was there from England. They were incredible. Second, the day that Sandy and Caroline Paton were on stage and sang "Only Remembered" as Richard Nixon was resigning as President of the United States.

And then there was the rain. It always rained at Fox Hollow. You could count on it. Some years the festival should have been called 'Fox Wallow!" One year it rained for a few minutes right around 4pm and then stopped!

Happy memories,
