As is the case with all things handcrafted, there may be slight errors and changes in times etc but we won’t worry about that too much.

WELCOME WELCOMEOne and all. Join us at the Opening Ceremony. Heed the bagpipers call and the Folkie’s accordion and get yourself to the Mountain Stage by 7pm Friday. We want to welcome you!
