    Smile The American Folk Festival

    Once again Bangor is hosting The American Folk Festival. August 24,25, and 26th. I have been the past few years and look forward to this huge gathering of musicians from across the globe. Not only music, but crafts and of course food. I thought about making this an event, and meeting at Seadog's around 6PM on Saturday. But have chosen not to since I did not post it early enough.

    But....here is your invitation to come and join us for the ( what I believe is the last one in Bangor. Next few years it will be in Richmond Va.) I will be there on Saturday, hopefully around noontime and my first stop will be the beer tent at the Main stage. Hope to see you all there.

    Please post if you plan on attending so we can look for you. http://www.americanfolkfestival.com/

    Sorry to burst your bubble Gary but the last year was 2 years ago and this is the last year in Richmond,VA. Bangor decided to continue with their own Festival and that is what they did 2 years ago....lol. Richmond in fact will be doing the same thing in "08" as Bangor did and will be hosting their own festival as well since they seem to be taking off so well.
    Just smile it won't crack your face

    Default My Bad!

    I got the National and American Folk Festivals mixed up. Not enough coffee I guess. You're all still invited! Thanks Haffy for the correction.

    Thumbs up Same ole', same ole' for me

    I have been at the folk festivals, both the National and the American in Bangor for the past 5 years. I am there at the kick off at 6 pm on Friday till they kick me out on Sunday afternoon. The diversity of artists always amazes me. I hope to catch up with some cachers as I have been doing for years. Come have some good music, good food, and good beer. Be sure to throw a few bucks in the buckets when the volunteer come by. It's only through the generosity of the festival goers and corporate sponsors that this will continue to be a free event. If your coming give one of us a call and we'll get together. PM me for a cell number if you are interested.
    Happy Trails!

    Love the Fesitval. Have enjoyed, at least part of it, every year. The first few years I sailed up the river with friends and stayed on their sail boat at a mooring. One year was so hot we even went swimming in the river.

    So is it 6P Saturday at Seadog? Still not to late to put out some micros if you really want them LOL!

    Just kidding! Plus, I seem to remember from some old caches near the waterfront the Harbor Master does not want any caches on the land or shore he is responsible to patrol. With the cruise ships coming in, caching on the Bangor waterfront is probably not a great idea.

    Seadog is a great idea!
