[dcab-l] DC Bluegrass Festival

Hi folks,

 

DCBU has been working hard to put together a great indoor festival at the end of February (Friday/Saturday, February 22/23).  Please join us for the 4th Annual DC Bluegrass Festival to be held at the easily-accessed Holiday Inn, College Park, Maryland.  The event will include the Mid-Atlantic Band Contest, a special presentation of the Washington Monument Award to Lynn Morris and a wonderful lineup of bands.  We’ll also be offering workshops for voice, mandolin and fiddle.  Come on out … bring your voice and instruments for some good bluegrass festival pickin’.  Stay at the hotel … we have a good rate ($99 single/double).  Reserve by phone: Call 866-240-6315 and mention "Code BLU" to receive your discounted rate.  Reserve by email: at Reservations@hicollegepark.   Please note that Festival tickets are not included with room reservations.  Tickets must be purchased separately.
