Well, this isn't about the schedule.

Over the last few years, a sort of Getaway Marketplace has grown up, helped along by the presence of Folk Legacy and Camsco Records.

This year Bill D and I are going to bring some of our woodcraft for sale. There are tables in the room between the Dining Hall and the TV room (the one where the Bench Shanty took place, for those who were there....)

I checked with Charlie and he says he would be pleased to see a kind of community marketplace develop in that area. So if you want to bring your CD's or crafts, or reasonable amounts of other folk related stuff for sale, and set it out in that room, you may. There WON'T be anybody there to watch over it, buyers and sellers will just have to find each other during the weekend. Total honor system.

But you can have a sheet there, for people to write a note if they're interested in buying something. We all wear name tags (when we remember, and didn't leave them pinned in our other clothes) so it's not too hard to find folks.

NEW SUBJECT:

If we can find a room that works, we'll try to set up a Listening Room where people can hear a bit of various recordings before they buy, or just sit and listen to some of Dick's and Sandy's fantastic music collections.
