[FM] Big Orange Tarp at Falcon Ridge (also Winterhwak and Rocky Mtn Folks Fest)

[Alan Rowoth]

Hey folks! I blinked my eyes and the summer is upon us. It's festival 
season again and the Big Orange Tarp will once again be travelling 
around the country to some of the coolest festivals there are.

Last weekend in July we'll be at Falcon Ridge and on the same site 
one week later for the Winterhawk Bluegrass and Beyond Festival. I'll 
also be in Lyons, CO once again for Song School and the Rocky 
Mountain Folks Festival.

We have quite a few folks who camp with us every year (especially at 
Falcon Ridge), but we are always happy to welcome new folks to join 
us. As members of this email list, y'all are cordially invited. It's 
a great way to enjoy the festival, especially for first timers, 
because you'll be hanging out with a bunch of friends who know their 
way around. In addition to providing a shady place in the campground 
to hang out and share meals, the tarp comes alive at night with some 
of the best music you've ever heard. It's a pretty magical place.

We are also VERY "kid-friendly". We LOVE kids and had a bunch of 
minievents for them at Falcon Ridge last year including kids concerts 
from Christopher Smith and Vanessa Trien and an absolutely amazing 
percussion workshop from the multitalented earth mother, Annie Wenz. 
We hope to have even more cool stuff for kids this year.

For more info, you can visit our web page online at 
http://www.bigorangetarp.com or drop a note to Carl Pelton at 
stumpelton@toad.net We also have an online mailing list for Falcon 
Ridge campers at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BOT-FRFF/ A web server 
crash has my FRFF photos from last year offline, but there are some 
photos from the previous year up at 
http://www.alanrowoth.com/Album-FRFF2k.shtml

We hope to see you all there. Please join us!

There are similar camping groups, albeit smaller for Winterhawk and 
Rocky Mountain. We'd love to have you join us for those events too!

Let us know!
Alan

P.S. Also the Peltons and I plan on attending this year's Country 
Roads festival on the weekend of July 21, sans tarp. It looks like a 
fantastic event. Look for me in my Big Orange T-Shirt and say hi!
