It will take a few more days before I have final information available for post on the www.fsgw.org site. I've got to prepare the hardcopy version first (for the FSGW newsletter, which goes to the printer later this week). As soon as that's done, I'll prepare a version for the web site. So expect materials in a week or so, G-d willing and the creek don't rise and the electric don't fail.

Cabin space will be plentiful. Not to worry.

As of now, the rates for the entire weekend (Friday afternoon through Monday morning) are $95/$85 for adults and $50/$40 for children 4 through 11 years old. (The second figure is for members of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, and if you want the member discount, along with all the other advantages of membership, there will be a link on the registration to a membership form as well.) The rates for Friday through Sunday evening (as late as you care to jam) are $90/$80 for adults and $45/$35 for children 4 to 11. All children 3 and younger are free.

Rates include use of the park, cabin bed space, and food by Debby McClatchy, caterer extraordinaire: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack for Saturday and Sunday. The all-weekend rate also includes Sunday overnight cabin space and breakfast on Monday. Friday dinner will be a potluck.

There will also be a rate for "daytrippers" (includes lunch and dinner ONLY) at $35/$30/day for adults and $20/$15 for children 4-11. And even cheaper rates for those who don't want to eat with us.

For those wishing to bring an RV, if you just park it in the parking lot, the costs are the same as for campers with bedspace. If you need plug ins, there's an RV Camper village one mile away, at the entrance to the gravel road that leads to the camp. You'll have to check with them for additional costs.

For those who wish more luxurious accommodations, rooms will be available at a nearby budget motel (5 miles away) for $48/night/room.

Hope you're all willing to work: we ask everyone to put in a couple of hours doing things, primarily in the kitchen: food stowage, preparation, chopping, cooking, serving, clean-up, etc. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room where a lot of the music/jamming goes on, so you won't feel isolated even while you're working. In fact, the group singing in the kitchen is some of the best music. (Anyone have a vegetable chopping shanty?)

So--I'm off to do the hardcopy thing; I'll post in this thread when the web-version is up and running.
