Just to follow up...the event took place yesterday and it was enjoyable to get together and to play. Roughly 50 people were there--and a real highlight for me was having the opportunity to hear Auni play and sing--she is writing her own songs and I have incredible respect for those that write and sing their own music. Check out her entries here on the Seasons.
And of course, it is always great to see Ukester Brown at work (at play?) and to see many of the ukulele faces I have had a chance to get to know.
Incidentally, the next big ukulele event is the Silver Creek International Ukulele Carnival near Two Harbors, MN--north of Duluth--in August. If you are looking for ukulele events to visit--this is a fun one!
