FAMILY MUSICALE IN WINOOSKI AND WORLD FIDDLE DAY

  • Winooski, VT, 05404 United States (map)

We will gather outdoors in Sarah’s yard and share tunes and jam with family members and friends. Picnics and snacks will be encouraged. Enjoy the park across the street for Frisbee, Tennis, or the playground! We will also have our Maypole!

The Third Saturday of May is annual World Fiddle Day and we will be hosting a very informal jam session and musicale on my yard between 2 - 4 pm.  Rain date will be Sunday, May19 from 11 - 1 pm.  Here is what you need to know:

1.  Please RSVP so that I know you plan to come. If I don't get enough 'yes' confirmations, I'll need to cancel or modify so I do need to know if you intend to come for some or all of it. 

2.  You may arrive any time during the event but I will plan sort of a rough outline of a schedule:

2:00   Sharing of tunes either individually or as a group (whoever can play the tunes).  All ages and adult students welcomed.  Bring a picnic if you like!

3:15   May Pole practice!  We'll need a band once we get it going! We'll see who wants to volunteer for that and come up with a common tune on the spot.

1 - 5 pm   The creemee stand will likely be open at the pool around the corner.  This may be a great thing to do before or afterwards!  You can keep your car parked on North Street if you wish, or drive over to the park parking lot.  Their creemees and floats are an amazing treat!

​3.  Here is the list of things you'd need to know or bring:

your instrumentsa

music stand and book for group tunes

a picnic if you would like, or snacks and beverages

blanket to sit on or lawn chairs

sun protection for your skin and eyes and shoes required for your safety

anything else you think you need!

The park across the street has porta potty, too. and a playground if you need to take restless children over there.

Please stay only on the back yard at my house and do not explore in the woods or other side of the house as there could be things unsafe for children like broken glass in the woods, or gas tanks and fishhooks by the boat for example.​

There​ ​is likely to be soccer across the street which will take up parking places in front of our house. You may need to park a distance.  If anyone will be with someone that needs to park close let me know so that I can make room in my driveway for them.

​If I think of anything else I'll let you know! Let me know if you have any questions.
