GOODBYE OCTOBER ===============================================================
October was a busy month for CFBA and local Bluegrass events. The Dover Rod Run at Dover Baptist Church was well attended and thanks to the many volunteer musicians in the local Bluegrass community (CFBA included) the music never stopped. If you have never been out for the Rod Run you really should come out to the next one. The folks at Dover Baptist Church always put on a great event and are very gracious hosts.
Also, big thanks to Too Much Fun for another fantastic Halloween Party. Josephine and the crew pulled it off again. There were lots of great costumes, food, friends & pickin’. If you missed it, come out next year and check out the photo album. If you took pictures, please put them on a disk and give them to Josephine (or bring them to a CFBA event and we’ll pass them along) for the album. Rumor has it there may be a change of venue next year, so pay attention.
