"NEXT LOCAL FESTIVAL"
----------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
For the thrill of a life time, attend a Bluegrass Festival, I want to warn you tho, it's contagious. once you hear all that music coming from those stringed instruments without all the amplification the other genres of music have, you'll fall in love with the soulful sounds and pure sweet harmonies that is only found in Bluegrass Music.

The NFBA Needs A Printer
Our laser jet printer that we use for the Newsletter and all our correspondence has died. We are hoping one of the membership has an old laser jet lying around that is not being used and would donate it to the NFBA, we are a non-profit association and can issue a donation form for the IRS so the value of the unit can be deducted at the end of the year. We only need one that uses a black cartridge we rarely use a color cartridge but we will take what ever you have and not using. Please call or email any board member and we will come pick it up, any help would greatly appreciated...thanks....
