Topanga Banjo Fest – May 21, 2023

by Louise Dobbs

A wonderful time was had by all at our great corner of the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest and Folk Festival !

We had some great leaders and participants.

First I want to give a shout out to the “Saints of Topanga:” I am referring to the amazing set up crew who went to the Festival the day (Saturday) before the event (Sunday, May 21).Thanks to Andy Gelencser who painted the walls of our pop-ups a lovely tan color the week prior to the Festival), who provided two popups and supervised the set up of our corner.Linnea Richards provided two pop-ups and was on the set up crew as well!Also, Steve Berman, our Prez, (who was dealing with vertigo!) and Sandy Lessner:both were there setting up the four (4) 10×10 popups.Mary Zangerle also was there, provided a rug for our singers to stand on, and brought chairs and was part of the set up crew.OMG! Thank you all !My Saturday Saints!Everyone on that crew brought chairs, and set them up to make our site inclusive, inviting, and cozy.

Tear down crew consisted of Andy and Janice Gelencser who are two amazing set-up gurus, myself, Linnea Richards, and Eric Leach—another couple of Saints!
