[dcab-l] attention pickers!

Calling for any and all folks who might like to compete in individual or band contests at the Loudoun Bluegrass Festival on Saturday May 9th! Email Tara if you want to pre-register or if you have any questions.

Also check out the workshops, led jam sessions, dance, and main stage acts for the quickly approaching Loudoun Bluegrass Festival. There is hopefully things there for many different interests- Irish, Old Time, Swing and Gypsy jazz, bluegrass, song writing, vocal, clogging, contests, etc.
As well as plenty of spaces inside and outside to make one's own jam sessions rain or shine. Bring a pickin chair and some instruments and have a fun day!

All just outside of Leesburg at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds (used to be called the 4-H Fairgrounds) on Saturday, May 9th.

Tickets are cheaper ahead of time off the website too, so might want to look into that idea too when you check out the schedules of Main stages and workshops.
