34TH Annual Music in the Valley Folk Festival

Co-sponsored by Hale Farm & Village and Folknet

Hale Farm and Village, 2686 Oak Hill Road, Bath, OH

July 11 and 12, 2009

 

The 34th Annual Music in the Valley Folk Festival will once again be held at Hale Farm and Village, which now has new folk-friendly management. The festival will be co-sponsored by Hale Farm and Village and by Folknet. It will take place at the Farm on Saturday, July 11 (11am to 5pm) and Sunday, July 12, (11am to 5pm). (Note: Hale Farm will only be open until 5pm; jams may move elsewhere on the Farm after closing of the Park.)

 

There will be NO ADMISSION FEE FOR FOLK MUSICIANS. However, guests will be charged $10 for adults, $5 for ages 3-18, and free under 3.

 

Free camping will be provided, but if you plan to camp, you must call Becky Carlino at 330/666-3711 x266 or email her at bcarlino@srhs.org. Call ASAP.

 

Camping is especially convenient for those who come a great distance to perform at the festival. The Farm has a food service on site where you may purchase food and beverages—food will be available until at least 3:00 pm both days. Or, you may choose to bring your own picnic lunch/supper. There are ample tables, inside and outside, and restroom facilities on the grounds.

 

Logistics: Folknet and the Park will be staffing a musicians’ entrance and registration table along the fence near the front of the grounds. Please have both yourself and your immediate family members enter at the musicians’ entrance and sign in at the registration table. Guests can pay for admission at the musicians’ entrance.

 

So please plan to come and enjoy a weekend of folk music under the shade trees. Also, spread the word to your folk music buddies. Directions: Get off of I-77 at Exit 143 and follow the Hale Farm signs down into the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley.

 

Questions or comments may be posted to Folknet’s Secretary, Jim Stone, at 330/666-0020. More information at www.wrhs.org/halefarm/ or www.folknet.org
