Get advanced tickets for this year's Golden Old-Time Campout! Last year's event at the new location (Camp Russian River in Guernville) was a winner - everyone went home and told their friends, so we're expecting more folks this year.

The California Bluegrass Association is again sponsoring this beloved campout: 3 days and 3 nights devoted to the playing of Old-time music and fun! Ticket

Thought this might of interest (though I expect there might be some turnover of restaurants & shops before next summer). And of course they left out our most perfect weekend there... :-)
