This is for Jerry41
I play uke as well and I was wondering how the fest was. Have you been there before. 5 or so from my uke club went to the one in Ashoken in May. The accommodations sounded a bit to rustic for me so I didn’t go.

It was the best one I've gone to yet. The price was about $125 for three days of ukulele, vendors, workshops with big name presenters, concerts, a train ride, and two meals. The whole event is organized by a man, his wife, and their daughter. Amazing. Unfortunately, I've seen prices lately of $110 and $125 for one-day events. Ridiculous! This was my first time attending, but I'll definitely go next year - first weekend in October. Link to pictures below.

As for the Ashokan event, that's also very good, but it's also very expensive. I went in 2015, and it cost $435 for four days, with meals - lunch and dinner, I think. The food was excellent. Now the price is about $100 more, so I don't plan to go again, even though it's just a couple of miles away.

Thanks Jerry. Good to hear. Maybe some of us from Long Island Strummers will show up next year.
And thanks for the link full of photos.
