It’s Tuesday morning in the Pecan Grove at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas and as of yesterday evening Stage 5 is ready to go for what looks to be another fantastic 29th year of acoustic music along the Walnut River.  For the third year now Tuesday evening means Golf Cart Drive-In Movie Night starting at dusk with some of your favorite cartoons, then settle in with us in our “living room” and enjoy a screening of our favorite movie.  “Cheer” the good guys, “boo” the bad guys, sing along with the songs and say the lines along with your favorite characters … it’s always a super fun evening! Don’t forget the popcorn.  Then bright and early (at 9 AM) Wednesday morning is sign up and then later in the evening we will host the Rat Camp Band Scramble Winners and some of the National Finger-style Guitar Championship contestants in a fantastic warm-up concert.  There will also be some open stage time following the Band Scramble winners.

Yippieeee!!! we are finally in the Pecan Grove and ready to do that Stage 5 thing. Watch here for daily schedules and other fun stuff happening in the grove. Drop by the Stage 5 camp and say hi .. we are looking forward to seeing you again and reconnecting. Sign up is Wednesday morning @ 9 AM and movie night is Tuesday @ dusk.
