Come for our 2nd annual cabin salon, Sun August 15th 2PM We are looking for performers of any type- musical or otherwise. Anything related to Chopin is encouraged, but we are open to practically anything, including jazz and other popular forms, poetry, humor, and so on.
By the cabin, are several low-impact trails from easy to moderate. Additionally, this is a very KID-friendly event - kids love playing around the stream in the back.
Our first cabin salon last year was attended by over 40 folks, and we all had a blast!!! No snow in August sorry...
