Has anyone been to Folk College?

It depicts folk workshops at this event called "Folk College" held at Juniata College in Huntingdon PA from May 23-25, 2008.

It seems like a quality event, not some fly by night operation.

here's the link

I have not been to the folk college festible but have been to Juniata College many times
I am originally from central Pennsylvania
It is a good school with a very good reputation.
Most likely a very good thing to look into if you are interested. I am an old retired college professor myself so I know the colleges pretty well in those parts and many of the workshops they sponsor from time to time

I've not been to Folk College myself, but I know a number
of people who have, and I've known some of the staff.
Reports are a fun time, good teaching, adequate food (not great quality).
If you're looking to improve your instrumental technique, it
sounds like a great place. Less so for singing and dancing.
