Taste of Folk College

Want a simple Taste of Folk College?

Here is your opportunity.

This one-day event will be held for free (donation requested) on Saturday, January 4, 2020. It will at the American Philatelic Society, 100 Match Factory Place, in Bellefonte, PA, 10 minutes outside of State College.

Taste of Folk College is:

• a fun party with lots of jamming

• a reunion for Folk College and Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering attendees

• an opportunity for people who haven't been to Folk College and Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering to see what it's about in a free 1-day event

It's for people who play an instrument, people who wish they played an instrument, and people who just like to listen.

The event runs from 3 to 10 but you're welcome to drop in at any time.

All instruments (guitars, whistles, fiddles, cellos, mandolins, hurdy gurdies, banjos, dulcimers, ukuleles, voices, accordions, keyboards, percussion and things we've forgotten) are welcome!

Bring a dish to share. We'll have places for crock pots. THERE ARE NO REFRIGERATORS, so plan accordingly. We'll provide beverages and paper products. We ask for a donation (no specific amount) to cover costs, with any excess helping to fund Folk College.

This location does NOT have a commercial kitchen to support the potluck. Therefore, all dishes brought to the event must be ready-to-serve. We will have outlets for crock pots, etc., but there will be no food cooking at the venue. Also, all dishes must come with a serving utensil, labeled with the person’s name.

Also, no alcohol is allowed on the premises.

If you already know what happens at Folk College, bring a friend with you to share the experience! Show your friends why you come back year after year.

We hope to see you there!
