While you browse you can listen to performances by more than 100 talented performers in blues, bluegrass, gospel, old time, world, rock, celtic and eclectica.  Our "Hands on Clay" activity allows kids to turn their own pottery, and other activities ranging from quiltmaking and flint knapping demonstrations to rockclimbing and canoeing offer something of appeal for everyone.
