The Bluegrass Festival!!!


This past weekend was the 6th annual Lake Itasca Family Music Festival...also known as "The Bluegrass Festival".  We've wanted to go for a few years but somehow it never worked out...until this year!  We really enjoyed it!  There was music all day by several different bands.

"Undeserved Grace" (The Becker family)




The Mahlsteds
A cute and solemn fiddle player.

I love old trucks!


The Bensons - This family came and sang a barbershop quartet style song between bands...they were amazing!

Some of the audience.. :)

They did a medley of songs of the music for each branch of the military and had people from that branch stand up.
These were some of the men that stood for the Army.

It began to rain...
So they moved us into another building to listen to The Bankesters:

Mr. and Mrs. Bankester singing together.  Ana and I went to a workshop they did about vocal harmony. :)

These 'hillbillies' (the Wissmann brothers) came and entertained us while the sound man set up for the next band.  They were quite funny!


And a blurry picture of some late night jamming by several bands together. :)

It was a fun day!!
