On Saturday, about 30 people from around the state got together for a 10-year anniversary of the 1998 Smithsonian and Wisconsin Folklife Festivals. We started with a leisurely tour around the Farmers Market where we met another festival participant,
Nodji Van Wychen, selling her cranberries. In the afternoon we gathered at Essen Haus where
Eleanor Bagstad shared her scrapbooks, the
Queens of Harmony sang,
Tip, Rick and
Mark played fiddle, accordion and clarinet, and we caught up on each other's lives. That evening was a concert at the Barrymore with NEA Heritage Fellows Liz Carrol on Irish fiddle, Michael Doucet on Cajun fiddle, and Ron Poast with his Hardanger fiddles. Three of these photos are by my 10-year old buddy, Cherice.
