HELP!

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Friends, we need help getting posters up in music stores, coffee shops, welcome centers, campgrounds, other festivals etc. If you can help, reply to this message and I’ll get in touch with you personally. I have extra brochures and band registration packets. Refer a friend to Fiddler’s Grove or recruit a new band. You are all a part of the Fiddler’s Grove family! We can help it grow together.
