Bluegrass workshop and concert celebrate 10 years

108 Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshops celebrating a decade of fun and education

Bluegrass music fans will have a rare opportunity to enjoy the talents of some of the top performers in the genre at the 108 Cabin Fever Bluegrass Seminar Leaders Concert.

The concert is slated for at The Hills Health Ranch on March 22, starting at 7:30 p.m.

It is part of the 10th Annual Cabin Fever Bluegrass Workshops. All of the 15 music instructors make up the entertainment list and several, such as mandolin player John Reischman, are winners or nominees of major music awards.

Concert tickets sell for $20 and event co-ordinator Rossetta Paxton expects a sellout. People can reserve by calling The Hills at 250-791-5225.

To help celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Cabin Fever, a birthday cake will be served on the night of the concert.

Paxton says she can’t believe the workshop has been going for so many years.

“When we started it, there was a real need in this area. This kind of thing was everywhere, but not in the Cariboo. We get lots of people coming from Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Prince George. We also have people come from Alberta, Vancouver and the United States.”
