We had a fabulous time sharing our passion for the mountain dulcimer!  Grateful thanks to the fantastic workshop participants!  Click here to see a few photos.

Following the performance, we offered dulcimer lessons/demonstrations on the porch of the old restaurant.  Hailey, Rachael, and Chloe are pictured above.

While they were all great participants, we want to give a special shout out to our new friend, Chloe!!  This was the first time she ever touched a dulcimer, and she took it like a natural!  Look out dulcimer world, here comes the next prodigy :) !
