The Texas Pickin' Park's 1st Annual Bluegrass Festival & Grand Jam is now in the books.  It was an unqualified success with five great bands entertaining enthusiastic audiences at the Concert Hall. Downtown, the courthouse square found throngs of music lovers and instrumentalists shopping among 50 specialty dealers and trading with each other in the Buy/Sell/Swap tent on Saturday morning. Jammers found pickin' pals and their music filled the air into the wee hours on Friday and Saturday nights. The workshops were popular and well-attended-- Gary Penny had 30 up-and-coming mandolin players in his session and the banjo, Dobro, harmonica and dulcimer students were nearly as numerous. Jerry Scribner reported his two one-hour slow jams morphed into a 6-hour marathon, "they wouldn't let me go!"  There is so much more to tell, but for now let it suffice to say that everyone we've talked to had a grand time.  
   We'll be posting pictures as soon as we catch our breath. In the meantime, we want to say a great big Thank You! from the bottom of our hearts to all who had faith in us and helped make the Festival such a huge success - sponsors, donors and volunteers. You're the best and we love ya.
