The committee that runs the Northern California Bluegrass Society Walker Creek Music Camp Scholarship Fund has awarded two partial scholarships to deserving students for the fall camp, which will be held this weekend, October 6-9, 2016, near Petaluma.

Thanks to Ingrid Noyes, who runs the music camp, which is held each spring and fall and is open to both adults and children. Thanks also to the NCBS committee that manages the fund.
And, a Big Thanks to the generous bluegrass scholarship fund donors, whose contributions support bluegrass education in our area!
