Selling CBG's at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival this weekend!!!
This particular festival features an Artists Village with a juried selection process. Once you are approved, you are given a 10x10 pop-up booth and free access for yourself and an assistant. In return they simply ask for a donation for their silent auction - I donated a custom built license plate resonator guitar.
BTW, those new "Snake Oil" pickups that CBGitty is selling... They are awesome.
I put some pics of a few that are going with me online at http://www.facebook.com/Slowlanemusic

FYI: Slow Lane Music will be back at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival this coming labour Day Weekend.
This year they have a vision to make the artists village a more collaborative environment, so I will be taking along a few playable unfinished instruments to allow some of the visual artists to contribute to... It looks like it will be a pretty fun time!
