Getting Closer

Dulcimer Day is right around the corner now. It will be a fun day of music, learning, and a fun time getting together. There are four terrific performers coming to Duluth for this special event.
A reminder that a Q&A with a Luthier session was added and on the day after Dulcimer Day there will be a gospel singalong at Mathew Burrows Bed & Breakfast 1890 Inn. It's a Victorian mansion that is worth the visit. Please sign up at Dulcimer Day for going to the Sunday 11 a.m. concert and singalong.

Safe travels to everyone heading to Duluth for the fest. There will be a lot of crazy construction going on and big crowds with the sailing ships coming in the summer but here it is in late Spring and everything should be clear. The Coppertop Church also has a such a great view of the wonderful Lake Superior. The lake is wonderful to gaze out upon and changes color almost every hour. While you're in town stop by the Lake and maybe skip a stone.
The third Sunday in July is Lake Superior Day. A time to celebrate and honor the lake. We can do it everyday but at that time in July people can learn more about it and gather together. I am organizing a Love Lake Superior event then at the Coppertop Church with local artists and education groups. Tonya Borgeson will exhibit her WaterWorks ceramics exhibit and a meditation room will be set up to honor the lake. Get together with friends and raise a toast to the Lake. Maybe write a song and play it on the dulcimer.
Hope to see the dulcimer enthusiasts of the upper Midwest on Saturday. Twenty two of the people attending are first timers to Dulcimer Day. Some attendees have been coming for years.
