27th Annual Takoma Park Folk
Festival will be held
The Board of Directors of the Takoma Park Folk Festival has
announced that the festival will be held, as scheduled, on
September 12, 2004, despite the loss of long-time chair Lenore
Robinson.
"Missing Lenore has created a huge void in our community,"
said Kevin Adler, Folk Festival treasurer. "The volunteers
on the Folk Festival’s committees hope that we can begin
to close that hole a little bit by having an event worthy
of Lenore’s legacy this year."
Festival organizers extend their appreciation to the hundreds
of volunteers at past festivals, and they say thatºtheir
need for volunteers has never been greater. The festival will
have eight official stages this year–the largest ever–and
several special on-site events. Newcomers are especially welcome
to help with many pre-festival tasks this year.
The next two meetings of the Organizing Committee will be
held on Thursday, May 13, and Tuesday, June 8.º Both
will be at 7:30 in the Takoma Park Municipal Building at Maple
and Philadelphia avenues.
