The Summer Hoot at Ashokan Needs Volunteers

With a lineup that includes Pete Seeger, Happy Traum, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Amy Helm, Mike+Ruthy and many other Hudson River music luminaries, it is hard to believe the message received yesterday from Ruthy, to the effect they still need volunteers!
In exchange for working two four-hour shifts, volunteers get....

• Festival admission.
• Lodging in the bunkhouse or camping.
• Two hot breakfasts.

And many amenities that go along with Ashoken that I will not list here.

For more information, read
