Back from the Bogs

It appears the announcement of the demise of the Bluegrass on the Bogs festival was premature. Probably more accurately, it is back from the other side. I have word from its former organizer another has stepped up to lead the effort and it will be back in May. Details to follow when more has been authorized.

For background information, read "Bluegrass on the Bogs Goes Dry" 11/18/12

9pm update: Posted to the Bluegrass on the Bogs' Facebook page


We are all very excited and would like to welcome Mike Foster to the BOTB family. Actually he has been among us as a band member with Railroad House Band for some time now. However, now he has acceptedanother role as the new manager for Bluegrass On the Bogs. The following is a message from Mike. Very shortly, I will be adding Mike as another admin for this page and you may never know who's behind the curtain here on fb. 

From Mike:

"The festival is on!

Thanks to Kristin Taylor and Peter Nelson for making this festival happen for the past 7 years and thanks to Kristin in particular for her help with the transition.

The festival will remain at the campground (Maple Park in Wareham) for next year at the same weekend as planned (May 17-19, I believe).

I'm working on the lineup now and will be in touch with all the bands.

We plan on adding a second stage down by the Lake, so bands may have the opportunity of playing more than one set. Sets for bands will be extended to 1 hour 15 minutes to give musicians more time to set up and play.

In order to avoid conflicts with other campers that weekend, we are working on new arrangement whereby folks who wish to pick music late will be able to reserve a spot in a specific section of the campground. This has not been finalized, but the campground is aware and open to the idea. More to follow.

I'll need all the help I can get!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me at mfoster@curry.edu or via Facebook.
