Far-West Campfire Zoom-based Songcircles

We have been invited by Far-West to participate in their twice a month Songcircles:

Every month on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays Join us around the virtual campfire for our twice-monthly song circle, where artists and audiences from the FAR-West region and beyond are welcome to enjoy original songs, favorite covers, and tunes inspired by that week’s theme.

Don your slippers and join us around the campfire. First timers are always welcome!

Sign up in advance using the link to perform or be in the audience.

Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month (with the exception of November and December due to holidays) you can register for free at found.ee/farwestcampfire. What started during the pandemic to keep us Folkies busy is still going strong! We would love to see a Songmakers presence there.

The dates for the 2025 camp outs, and the approximate dates when you can reserve your site. Ventura Co are listed below. Parks says you can reserve 180 days in advance, but I just checked and reservations for KG are currently open through December 21, which is almost a week less than 180 days from today. We tried to space these well, not bump into holidays, and not start when it’s too early and cold!
