REPORT

I've only got a few flyers out and things are starting to happen already. One guy visits this area each month, but lives hours away-- and will start to join our jams (someone was kind enough to see and copy down the flyer for him)! Another lady e-mailed me to ask if we had a website-- not sure if she saw a flyer or if she got the blurb I sent out to the folk jam list that covers the area to our southwest. Another lady e-mailed because she DID see that blurb.

Work on the sign for the yard should begin later this week, and more flyers to distribute.

And Mmario, it turns out, will be here visiting for the August jam date, so it looks like that one could start to really click.

I also found out we have a little local competition (if they care to see it that way-- I don't). The people who put on the annual bluegrass festival and a winter bluegrass concert here are advertising that they want to branch out into folk and blues. Not sure yet what they have in mind. Apparently they are too busy with the festival coming up in two weeks to answer their e-mails, but I will be attending it, with flyers, and see if I can hook up with them there.

Wow!
