Hej Joanna,
that's a nice idea! Thank you very much for providing this info. If you are living in that area: do you have any suggestions where to stay for the Northwest Folklife Festival - I guess I mentioned we plan to travel by RV - and I know it might be a good idea to make memorial day reservations quite early to find a space for sure. We already thought about hiring the RV at El Monte which is not on the Canadian side of the border, so a trip to Seattle could be possible. Thanks a lot for your help!

If you are going to be in Vancouver at the end of May you should consider coming to Seattle for the Northwest Folklife Festival which is the largest free Festival of its kind in North America. The hurdy gurdy players usually get together to jam and there is an amazing amount and variety of music and dancing for four days over our Memorial Day weekend.

Hi everybody, we are recently re-scheduling our vacation plans fort his year. Well, it may be possible that we once more go to West Canada rather than following our initial plan to go to Norway. If we really decide for Canada, we probably spend a week in the Vancouver / Vancouver Island area in the last week of May; afterwards we plan to stay for a week or so in the parks Banff, Jasper, eventually Waterton. We plan driving around in a Motorhome, so we are relative flexible. Here's the request: are there any Hurdy-Gurdy players willing to meet us for an evening? And: is there any recommendable event in that time between the last week of July and the end of the 3rd week in June that might be of interest for folkies like us? Btw: I'm not exclusively interested in HG music, I also love Canadian/American singer-/songwriters like Stan Rogers, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton etc. So if anyone has suggestions: any hint is highly welcome.
