Hi Everyone:

For the month of June we will be having our regular 1st Friday meeting and jam on Friday, June 2nd from 10am-Noon at Faith Baptist Church, located at 436 Coal Creek Road in Chehalis.

To find the Church take I-5 to exit 79, then head East. Turn LEFT on N. National Ave and go 1/3 mile, then turn RIGHT on Coal Creek Rd. Go 1.1 miles, then turn RIGHT into the Church driveway. We will be in the upper building. There will be coffee and tea and some snacks but it won’t be a potluck.

This will be our last jam before the summer break begins, so there will be no meeting/jams during the months of July, August or September.
Jamming will resume the first Friday in October at 10am at Faith Baptist Church. I’ll send out an email in September to remind everyone about the jam resuming.

Just because we’re taking a break over the summer doesn’t mean there is nothing going on locally. Here are four local events happening in July and August, in addition to WOTFA FiddleCamp that will be happening the week of July 10th at Moses Lake:

1. July 7-9th 2023: Bluegrass From The Forest, S. Mason Youth Soccer Park, www.bluegrassfromtheforest.com

2. Pickersfest, August 4-6, 2023, Winolequa Park, Winlock, Wa. www.wamamusic.com

3. St Helens Bluegrass Festival, August 11-13, 2023. Toledo High School, www.Washington bluegrass association.org

4. August 13-20, 2023: Centralia Campout, just East of Centralia along the Chehalis River @ 1300 K Street, Centralia, Wa 98531
www.centraliacampout.com

Also, it’s not too late to sign up for FiddleCamp, and tuition scholarships are available for any District 9 members that are under 18 years of age and would like to go. Please let me know if you need a scholarship. You can link to the FiddleCamp site from the main WOTFA.org page.

That’s it! Happy summer and keep on fiddling.
