 Registered Festival attendees can sign up to perform on Open Stage which will be on Friday night after the Festival Dinner.

Any number of folks can play, 1-2-3-4 etc. Only restriction is that any one person cannot perform in the On-Stage event over two (2) times. Each group will be limited to two (2) songs each and will also have a time limit. So get your group interested in coming and performing or call a couple of friends and plan to participate
 as long as it is acoustical.  FUN    FUN    FUN! ( Open-Stage Rules are posted in the web site menu)
**** Keep in theme by performing a favorite song from the last 100 years of American Music.  Give us a little history about the song and where it fit in our Musical History****
