    I'll be there. If the weather's good there's decent jamming. They get about 100 camp units and a good day crowd on Saturday. I've taught workshops several times in past years.

    I'd sure enjoy seeing you play Bill and Jeff. And I'd like to catch the mandolin workshop. Can anyone tell me how's the camping - open vs. wooded? wall-to-wall crowded? any quiet sections?

    The festival is at the fairgrounds. There's not much shade and you can certainly find a quiet section. It's not a large festival, but sometimes a few good jams. There's not a lot of electricity unless you get there early. Not real crowed with campers, you be able to find a spot with no trouble.

    Well, I confess, I missed Mayfest. It seems I had some work to do on my boat and a certain hockey game to catch... So, how was it, and how many in attendance?

    It was small, cold and windy on Saturday. The attendence seemed to be down from what I remember last year. Maybe the economy, or the weather took it's toll this year. I only seen a couple of the bands on Saturday, but those that I seen were good. There was some pickin in the barns buy not much going on outside in the evening. I left about 1am and the frost was starting to set in.
    So, all in all, it is ok and a good start to the festival season.
