Comment by smilingdog1 on June 4, 2013 at 9:29am: Hi everyone,

Most likely, there will be many questions that need answered during the event.

So we have included an information booth at the festival for everyone's convenience to help you with all scheduled events.

Comment by Mr.C on June 2, 2013 at 10:27am: Will there be a link on Cbn so people access the feed for the fest

Comment by James Eddy on May 31, 2013 at 7:51am: Uncle John, the festival will be minutes from the I-44 exit for Elm. The part of town that it is in is VERY nice. The area is suburban and not particularily crowded. There are a few cool music shops nearby (MusicFolk) and a lot of restaurants. If you're coming down from Iowa STL has a ton of Free(!!!) stuff to do like the St. Louis Art Museum (that just opened a new wing) as well as the St. Louis Zoo. The arch is also a pretty cool place to visit at least once.

Comment by smilingdog1 on May 27, 2013 at 4:34pm: Chuck, that sounds great. Look forward to meeting you and listening to a tune of yours on the harp.

Comment by Chuck Cobillas on May 27, 2013 at 1:14pm: I'll be in St Louis area for the weekend and am looking forward to attending the Festival! I had a couple of quick posts earlier, I'll bring my harps and some other light percussion instruments. I won't have room to bring any CBGS tho. Sounds like this is going to a lot of fun!

Comment by smilingdog1 on May 18, 2013 at 10:23pm: Don't worry about the attendance chart above. This event has the potencial to overwhelm all of us. Local media is stirring the pot every week up to the fest. Words out and people are starting to recognize me and the T-shirt and posters and report they've read about it in riverfront times. Radio and TV interviews coming up! My group alone will fill half the parking lot. I am seriously understocked on guitars and kits. My T-shirts are all gone, more on order.

We're are going to be put to the test on this one because vacancy will not be the problem. Food and drink will not be a concern. Do you cash checks or have enough change will be. I'll jump off a six inch curb if anybody says otherwise.Here's my T-s, all I have left are XL-XXL, it was a fun idea.
