For those of you who like a little picking and grinning, the Sedalia Center is hosting a bluegrass festival this weekend (Thursday-Saturday), and camping is even allowed. I'll be there with my pop-up soaking in some bluegrass on Thursday.

The Sedalia Center is proud to present Bluegrass at Sedalia for the 12th consecutive year. This festival offers a wide variety of bluegrass groups showcased in a mountainous setting for the entire family. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the show!

We had these same old jokes year ago for the 2007 Sedalia Bluegrass Festival.

Three days of bluegrass combined witth 2 nights of camping. Where else can you go and hear "Mr. Bojangles," "Jolene," and "Amazing Grace" all in the same concert?

The local fishwrap even did a nice write up about the festival:

BIG ISLAND — Ninety-degree temperatures, overcast skies and a strong summer shower couldn’t keep bluegrass fans away from the last day of Bluegrass at Sedalia, a music festival celebrating its 12th year.

Hundreds mulled about at Bedford County’s Sedalia Center, chatting, picking up concessions and, of course, taking in traditional and modern bluegrass tunes.

Complete with mandolins, banjos, slide guitars, fiddles and stand-up basses, 10 Virginia bands serenaded attendees with a mix of gospel music, classic ballads, instrumentals and original music over 12½ hours Saturday.
