| Thirteenth Leg CHEESEHEAD CHICKEN RUN - 2011 (Pioneer Village Bluegrass Festival) |
| THORNS & ROSES, a new band to us, and most enjoyable. |
| THE TEMPORARY STRING BAND was there for their 5th year. |
| HIGHWAY 52 BLUEGRASS BAND, whom we'd seen at the Ladysmith Festival were on hand, and they'll be at the Buffalo River Valley Bluegrass Gospel Festival. |
| THE SEEGER BOYS, one of the most talented groups of young people you'd ever hope to hear. Great to see and hear them again. |
| THE CABIN DWELLERS always put on a great show, and we were delighted to see our friends again. |
| THE RIVER CITY RAMBLERS were there, and we saw something we don't recall seeing before. Banjo picker Andy actually smiled...more than once. |
Saturday, July 16, up
in the morning the
subtle melody of a
bunch of guys pruning
and mulching trees. So
much rain, we were
fearful about the music
festival being delayed.
But we kept swimming
upstream to Cameron.
The farther North we
went, the more sun we
found waiting for us.

Trump checked out the
local wildlife, and, then
wisely staked out his seat.

Just about all of these
chairs were filled for the
festival, and there were
many more, plus some
people brought their own.
We wandered around the
buildings, looking at the
exhibits. In the boat
building we met Bill Heino,
one of the many friendly
and knowledgeable folks
who volunteer at the
museum. Bill has some
great stories. Talk to him.

An excellent crowd on hand, and
all were well-behaved, regardless
of the number of feet they had.

Before the scheduled bands got
underway, there was an "open mike"
session, during which anyone who
wants to sing or play may do so.

Once again, it was a great day, filled with Bluegrass
music. We saw a lot of old friends, made some
new friends, had a great lunch and a real down-
home foot-stompin' good time. Can't wait till next
year.
