There will be a great selection of Folkcraft and FolkRoots dulcimers on hand - John/Karen Keane are vendors of our instruments, and of course, Richard will bring a few, too. The vending starts Thursday afternoon, and goes through Saturday afternoon. There's a concert both Thursday and Friday evenings, and classes are all day Friday and Saturday.
