NCBS Folks & Friends Are Invited To The NCBS Gathering On Saturday July 10

The NCBS Gathering — This Saturday, July 10th
 
Dear NCBS Folks & Friends
It is about time we all got together again! A brand new  event — The NCBS Gathering — will be held This Saturday, July 10, 2021, 10:00am-5:00pm at the San Benito County Historical Park8300 Airline Highway in Tres Pinos, 7 miles south of Hollister.
This is a FREE event.
 
Beginning at 10:00am, there will be bluegrass music on several stages. You and your friends can set up your day camp with your usual chairs, tables, ice chests, and shade canopy, or you can rely on the park’s picnic tables and shade trees in the south end of the park, near the main stage. NCBS has reserved Picnic Areas 8 & 9. You can relax, picnic, and jam with your many friends who will visit you at your day camp.

The main stage will be the usual GOF stage, but it will face the historic village square, not the big field where we usually fly a shade cloth. There will be picnic tables and space for your folding chairs in the square. The main stage show will run Noon-3:00pm. There will be intimate ‘tweener sets between main stage acts. A small stage in the picnic area will have acoustic music between 10:00am and Noon.

Main Stage Schedule:

Noon — Hoot N Holler

(Tweener — Scared Of Bees)

1:00pm — Eric Burman & The Brookdale Bluegrass Band

(Tweener — Kim Elking, Lee Anne Welch, & Sonia Shell)

2:00 — The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers

(Additional morning bands will perform beginning at 10:00am.)

After the main stage shuts down, jamming and relaxing will continue until 5:00pm., when the event will come to an end.

You can bring your own food and drink or you can enjoy sausages and hot dogs from our friends in the San Benito County Historical Society. The Saloon will be serving up soft drinks. You are welcome to bring your own alcohol.

Finally! — Jamming all day, picnicking all day, socializing with your long-unseen bluegrass friends, and great bluegrass music on the stage!

Hope to see you there!
