First of two weekend outings


2 May 2019


Our first outing was to attend the Holiday Hills Music Park Bluegrass festival in Laurel Hills, FL. 
We first stopped for one night at a former state park campground which was turned over to the city of Florala, AL.  It is a small but very nice place to camp.  It seems that several campers are there for longer periods.  Everyone was very friendly; Anneke met a few ladies who play dominoes in the afternoon and she was invited to play with them.  Not having played this game before she still managed to win four out of the five games.  Since we were there for only one night, we do not know if she would have been invited back the next day.

It is nice park that makes a great stop over or extended stay.  It is a relatively short walk to town with shopping and restaurant choices.









This was our second time at the blue grass festival.  It is on a large private property with well kept grounds and RV spots in the grass fields with power and water.  In addition to the formal music performances in the covered pavilion, many people come to meet fellow enthusiasts and camp for the weekend.  You can walk the grounds day and night and listen to many gatherings of bluegrass ad hoc performances. 
Most of the stage performers were family groups with members as young as 10.  They were all excellent with amazing talent.  They play a mix of bluegrass and gospel.
We really enjoy the music and atmosphere.
