This year was the 71st National Folk Festival. What an amazing event!

The groups this year were very special, as usual, and always show the
diversity of the United States.

The band played 3 very upbeat sets over the course of two days, plus a
fiddle workshop with Michael, Mitchell and me. Fiddle workshops are
always well attended, and this one was no different. It's amazing how
many fiddle styles there are!

The annual volunteer/performer party, held on the Saturday night, was
a good one.
