I posted this to the MC calendar. Definitely worth a drive. Wish I could tell you when Stiernberg and Cahill (banjo,Special Consensus/ former IBMA president) play. They're billed but not listed on the performance schedule. I think someone should twist some arms and get an impromptu mandolin concert with Josh Williams, Stiernberg, Rick Faris and Steve, the host and owner of Downhome Guitars. The Hillbenders are very entertaining and Dan Crary will be there along with much more. No word on whether Josh Williams' bird will make an appearance.

On the village square. No facility for camping/all night activities over a campfire - or public drunkenness, but a jam tent will be there along with restaurants, pubs, and an ice cream parlor. High of 88 or 90 predicted - not too bad for this summer.
