    It sure is good to know all of these things beforehand! I sure would hate to miss any of the good parties! :-D It's a 1740 mile round trip and I don't want to drive back home on Monday thinking I missed something!

    The Friday night Celtic jam is great.
    It is at the main field.
    It starts out as very traditional celtic music.
    Through in a little bluegrass.
    The later in the evening it goes the more energetic
    and Celtic Rocking it becomes.
    A fun time for sure.

    Is there any problems with having a small camp fire? I doubt anybody actually will want a fire to keep warm...but, a small campfire is kinda nice to sit around and chat a bit. What are the rules regarding camp fires?

    You can have a fire. It can be in the upper 80 degrees and humid during the day and still usually drop to the 50's at night, so a fire is often a necessity.

    I have been there when it gets down to about 45 at night.:confused:

    Thunderstorms are often the case in the afternoons.



    So don't forget some clothes that you can warm up with and some rain gear.

    If I can get the time off from work, I'm going to try and make it. Probably only Saturday, though.

    Saturday is a good day but be prepared for the people.
    Still, I would come on whichever day I could.
    Sunday has a smaller crowd but still all of the events.
    They are expecting 50,000 over the 4 days.

    I actually drove by the field today. I took the day off just to get away to the mountains and decided to take a look. Last year there was some major storm damage in the area and I was glad to see Hwy 221 has been repaired. However, anyone who might have ideas of coming north up the Blue Ridge Parkway beware. There are still a couple of sections closed, the northernmost being near the 221 exit. You can detour around of course but bring a barf bag!
