And a One and a Two and Away We Go

Get ready for a Bluegrass Concert in Frederic, WI! The link should give you all the details. In case it doesn't work, here's the general idea.

Our good friends, the Klawitters and O'Brien's up at The Wilderness Fellowship are hosting a bluegrass concert/jam time Saturday, July 3rd at 7:00 p.m. in the Johnson Hall.
The Klawitter Family, ourselves, and the O.K. Wingnutz will be performing. Afterwards, refreshments will be served. An open jam time will be in the works as well. So if you can play an instrument, bring it with and join us!
