Another good festival I never seem to be able to get to.

I really must get back in touch with Katherine Rhoda who will be at this year's festival.

Looks like a really nice line-up!

I used to go, many years ago before it moved to Burlington, before I moved to Maine. It was good fun, very rustic. Maybe next year, this year's date is taken.

I have fond memories of camping out on top of some nearby mountain.

I'd love to hear Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman.

But Roll & Go is booked in Bath, Maine, August 5th, and I have to do my part and sing.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

And we're gonna be on the Coast Guard's 'Eagle'. I've thought about going to Champlain VFF, but I've never made it. I'm afraid of these festivals. I fall in love with them and then can't make one and it hurts. One of these years, though, I'll face the danger and get there!

Jeri -- we can go together some time. And get so wrapped up in singing on the way home that we end up in...Gloucester?!?

I live in Burlington and have been going to CVF since 1993 and volunteering since 1995. Every year in Burlington seemed to be better than the year before. The last two years in Burlington, 2000 and 2001, were the best ever. Since moving back to Kingsland Bay in 2002, CVF has become very inconsistent with some good performers, but too many that haven't been so good. This year's lineup has only a few I'm really looking forward to. Overall it looks like the weakest year ever. :-(

I'm about an hour and a half away - but I'll be in Montana at the time. Kris and I do get to play at the Virginia City Cowboy Gathering, however.

Jeri - after you go on the "Eagle," get and read S. M. Stirling's "Island in the Sea of Time."
