The June 1st session at Connor Byrne was an official kick off for summer, as warm temperatures and sunshine graced our music making in an outdoor patio setting. We had folks join us from out of town, and even from out of state. It was great to make some new friends.
In case you’re wondering where and when the next session is, it will be in September! July and August are typically our time off as many of us travel near and far. We’ll have more information on September’s session as soon as it’s available.
Now, what to do…. what to do…. Think Mt. Vernon Highland Games! It will be the 29th annual Skagit Valley Highland Games, on July 12th and 13th. Last year, they moved the games to the Fairground in Mt. Vernon, and it’s the greatest! Yes, there are fiddle opportunities, along with pipes, dancing, and competitions! Read all about it here.
Also- for summer reading, there’s a fantastic new book written by Kelli Estes, a local from the Seattle area. She’s a USA Today bestselling author with a story that will surely delight you! Situated in the Scottish Highlands, two devoted mothers separated by centuries discover a haunting connection. Here’s her website.
Have a great summer!
