July 12, Sat. - *** Music in the Valley ***

The sounds of traditional music from a by-gone era will fill the air at Quiet Valley from 12 noon to 8pm. Supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the first annual "Music in the Valley," will feature a wide range of music styles and expressions including folk, blue grass, country, and gospel, as well as contra dancing!

A variety of groups will perform on stage or around the farm. These groups represent traditional music of the 18th and 19th centuries in the setting of an historic farm.

As well as performances throughout the day, there will be workshops and hands-on events to provide visitors with an opportunity to take a closer look at the music, dances and instruments featured.

The event will be held under tents, rain or shine, and the cost is included in the regular admission to the farm - adults $6.00, children (3-12) $4.00, 2 and under free. Food will be available. Bring a blanket or lawn chair. Abreviated Farm tours will also be available from 10am to 5pm.

Music groups will also be holding workshops at various times so don't miss a thing. Come and spend the day!
