dulcimers in the Cornfield Festival

 

 Hammered Dulcimers, Mountain Dulcimers, Autoharps and more …

 
 

The evaluations tell us that our second festival was a bigger and better than last year.  The workshops, concerts, vendors, and schedule received some very nice comments.  Folks that had attended the 1st fest immediately noticed the improvements in the facility since last May.  After Friday night's storm, winds, and dropping temperatures, we certainly enjoyed the newly installed heat in all the workshop spaces.  We actually had to back off the heat in certain areas.  The improvements are much appreciated.  In talking with Vernon & Kitty, there are many more to come.

Many parts of the festival and concerts were recorded on audio and video.  We'll be adding videos and posting to YouTube as well.  Stop back often.    Thanks!
 

In the meantime, you'll find a RECAP of the festival below.  We hope you enjoy it.


RECAP of our 2nd ever .... Dulcimers in The Cornfield Festival (May 7 - 9, 2010)

The festival featured Guy George on hammered dulcimer and Gary Sager (filling in for Tull Glazener) on mountain dulcimer.  Our local Famous Old Time Music Company 'Circle of Friends' including Chris Cooperrider, Joyce Harrison, Vernon & Kitty McIntyre, Joe Steiner, Don Thompson, Sharon & Mike Wildermuth, Mary-Jo Ward, Louise Ziegler and Shari Wolf filled out the teaching duties as well as providing the entertainment for Friday night's Cornflake Jamboree.

Thursday:  There were 21 folks that came early for a carry in dinner.   The jamming later helped to set the tone of the festival.  

 
Friday: 

 

Joyce, Chris, Joe and Shari rev up the music with a medley of Blackberry Blossom and Devil's Dream featuring leads on the hammered dulcimer and bluegrass banjo.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3NyVylVcQw

Sunday:  The Gospel Celebration ended the weekend with a combination of music, some light hearted moments, and inspiration. We all said our good-byes and hoped to see each other next year.
 

We are in the process of making plans for the future.  Check back for the latest information.
