The
8th Annual Big Horn Festival will be held July 6, 7, and 8, 2012 at the
Johnson County Fairgrounds. Advance sales for the 3-day festival
ticket and daily tickets are now available. You can get your
tickets online or
at the following early bird ticket outlets in Sheridan at The WYO
Theater, or in Buffalo at the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, Sports Lure,
or Joy Video.
We're excited that Bluegrass Camps for Kids will return for the 2012 festival
from July 4-6, 2012. This will be a three day bluegrass and folk music program
for children aged 9 to 18, organized and taught by members of the band
Spring Creek. Children can pick from a wide range of classes, including all
levels of guitar, bass, banjo, fiddle, and vocals. Campers will also experience
band class with their peers, daily jams, square dances, art projects, and
optional private lessons. The Camp will conclude with a main stage performance
on Friday, July 6th, at 3:15 p.m. For
2012 camp information and application forms please visit Bluegrass Camps for Kids.
This
website is the
source for information about the festival, so be
sure
and check back here often to keep up with the latest news about all the
activities, happenings, and plans. We
also
update Facebook when something is updated
on the website.
We have another fantastic lineup for 2012 including Houston Jones, Northern
Departure, Travers Chandler & Avery County, The Jalan Crossland Band,
Springcreek, and Troxel & Krieger, and more to be announced! Check
out their bios in Bands.
There will be lots of fun in 2012, including the Wyoming
Mandolin and Banjo Championships, an Old Time
Fiddle Contest, and a Guitar
contest too, with the winners of the mandolin, banjo, and fiddle contest all
winning guaranteed slots at the Walnut Valley Festival contests in Winfield, Kansas. Don't miss the Band
Scramble on Saturday afternoon, and there will be a variety of workshops hosted
by our performers. We'll have instrument raffles
(check the link for our 2011 offers and check back in the spring as we announce
our 2012 offers), food and craft vendors, a pancake breakfast, great folks, and
lots of jamming. It will all add up to a super time.
Each year, the
beautiful Big Horn
Mountains frame the festival at the
Johnson County Fairgrounds where you will enjoy the true festival
experience. Bring your tent, camper, or RV and spend the
entire weekend
with us and enjoy some of the best parkin' lot pickin' in the Rocky
Mountains.
