Do you think Winter will ever be over? Again this morning, March 28th, two inches of snow on everything. And I understand that in the morning it will be the same surprise....but I already know, SO, I won't be shocked. The park will need a lot more attention this spring because of all the rain with it washing roads and the grass will probably get a good headstart on growing before we can get in with the mowing machines. Some repairs will need to be done, but that is always the case. I believe that some time in late April, a group is going to schedule a "work day". We will try to put the word out and if you want to join us, come on. I am now trying to get out our flyers. If you can place some out, call me and I will send you some to do just that. It is always a big help when our musicians and friends take an interest. We would also like to ask that you encourage the younger musicians to join us. We need to expand our crowds and bring them in to join us. That is how we are going to pass our heritage of the old'time bluegrass music on. I do appreciate all the bands and musicians that participate in the jam groups around the park. It makes things much more festive. I want to mention to you that Mona is hoping to have the DVD out by Memorial Day of the history of the park and all it's interviews with the musicians, DJ's, associations involved with its preservation. We are hoping it will be ready and packaged for the festival. Be sure to get yours. Looking forward to seeing you in about eight weeks. It is going to be another great festival year. May the Good Lord Bless you and yours, Bessie Reeder
