This is THE GREAT festival for strictly old time music. The festival takes place every year, Wednesday to Sunday, first week in August. It happens in a secluded park with an old log cabin dance hall. Since the park gets full by Wednesday, many musicians show up the weekend before. There is no such thing as a campsite reservation. Cars and tents and trailers and tarps are squeezed in everywhere. There is almost no level ground. It can be hot, soggy, and muddy. The camp has been known to run high on rain and low on tap water. There is an organized square dance every night by the best bands in the land. There are ad-hoc dances too. Some campers organize talent shows and pot luck dinners. There is a contest every day and a winners' show every night. There are organized kids' activities such as basket weaving. Kids tend to find each other and have lots of fun. Grownups too.
