Kerrville 2002

Up New Folk Rouce/RV

This year we stayed all 18 days at the Ranch in a double-wide RV.  The music was on a par with other years, featuring Patty Larkin, John Gorka, etc.  However there was a constant buzz about the financial condition of the Festival and the need for action to preserve the ranch from possible sale.  As a member of the board I was involved in frequent meetings that lasted forever.  Thank goodness for the music.
