2008 Schedule of Events

Jamming takes place anytime you can find a place and put folks together. There is almost always jamming in the Cedar Forest Lodge, and some people open their cabins to jamming as well.

All-day, Friday and Saturday, browse the amazing music collection by John Hatton's Cleff D'Ear and the banjo display by Lo Gordon, Cedar Mountain Banjos.

And join us Saturday night for our rollicking contra dance, maybe even sign up to become one of the bands that play!

Admission to the dance is $5 if you are not already registered as a BUW attendee. If you attend the Nashville Country Dancers contra Friday, February 29, look for a special discount coupon to spend the entire day with us Saturday, March 8, for just $10 - a $5 discount off the regular one-day pass.
