Our Fall Festival was great, there was concern about the $5 gate fee for the first time at Little Grantville but we ended up with more gas money for the bands than the Spring Festival which amounted to $68 for each of the 19 groups that played here. The folks seemed to take to our new Little Grantville Cafe well & it is a lot handier than the lunch counter inside the bluegrass building. All & all I believe it was a great little festival with absolutely no problems

MUSICIANS;
We are anouncing from this day on 9/8/2008,bands will be paid $50 (plus/minus a few dollars)for Monthly Saturday Jamborees that they perform at.
MUSICIANS;
We are still paying bands that perform at our festivals.As most of you know by now,we had our first admission fee at our Fall festival,$5 a person per day $10 for the whole festival,children 16 & under & musicians & their spouses free. It was encouraging to sell many $10 admissions & the total paid to each band (19 bands)was $68 wich is finally getting to an amount that folks can't refuse,that is what we have been striving for. Can't promise you that it will get much higher but if we have more attendance which we are inclined to believe as the fall festival showed a increase in fans, the pay will increase with to profits, which include profits on hats & shirts, food & pop, raffles & now a admission fee.
Summing it up;
The nature of our Bluegrass/Oldtime music is great music with little or no pay most times.The bands with total comitment can grind it out & do well. Our festival is mostly with folks with day jobs & we hope the little $ that we can scrape up can at least get you here & back home again.
