[Harp-L] Buckeye 2010

Buckeye 2010
In mid-January I asked Marvin Monroe if Buckeye was considering having a festival this year.
He said no, but if I was inclined to find a host that Buckeye would likely offer assistance.
I met with Duane Gisewhite, the president of Akron, Ohio's Rubber Capital Harmonica Club (RCHC) where I've been a member since the early 80's. When Duane said that he was interested and intended to present it to the club, I called Marvin to let him know.
The following Monday, Marv drove up from Columbus to assist Duane at the clubs weekly meeting.

We are currently designing a new website where you'll be able to get up to date festival information.
It should be available sometime next week.

Tentatively the festival will be 3 days April 29th, 30th and May 1st.
If you have attended a Buckeye in recent years, you'll be getting notified by mail
Payments for the festival package will be by check or money order but for the first time:
Festival packages will also be available on-line using Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and Paypal.

I'll  posting more details as they become available.

We're projecting the 3 day festival package cost to be under $120/person and will likely be discounted for early registration
