Hi Sally, Your timing is perfect! If you have any plans for Memorial Day weekend, cancel them! If you come to Folk College (www.folkcollege.com) at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA that weekend (May 27th - 29th) you will meet at least nine other hurdy gurdy players, talk with them, try out a hurdy gurdy, and talk to a hurdy gurdy builder.
Folk College is a multi-instrument event (the website will give you all the details), so bring your flute, your guitar, your voice, and anything else you play, and have a great time!
