Lots of stories, photos, and videos were made during the 3rd annual Ukulele World Congress that occurred on June 3rd & 4th, 2011 in a field with a stage in a rural part of Indiana known as Needmore, Indiana. These things are spread over the internet. Several places on the Ukulele Underground, Facebook, emails, etc. Hopefully, those photographers, videographers, and writers/story tellers will add them to this thread so they can be easily referenced in the future.


A beautiful video of the Ukulele World Congress 2011 has been made by Kilaana​

First of all to recognize the man that started and put on this shindig. We all know him as Hoosier Hiver

Then you need to add some participants.

of which there were many volunteers.
 
I hope someone got a high definition group shot. There were about 6 folks shooting pictures. I have only seen this one which is a bit low rez. (800px × 283px) and one video of the song.
 
But then it was quickly learned that if you put a lot of Ukulele players together they can't stay still.

Right Colin?

Here's another version of the group song. Starts about 1 minute in. INSIDE THE MAYHEM

 
Now that's a great looking bunch, gaggle, herd, ... of ukulele players!

Oh, ensemble!

Oh well, keep uke'in',
 
Of course with anything that has any duration you need to relax:

Was told that the piano that is being used on stage is a miniature piano ... not toy. Quite the instrument.

Somewhere along the line fresh energy flew into the Ukulele World Congress from points afar. An example:

Bermuda, brother... it's a long ways away! *grin*

(Totally understandable mistake... happens way too often!)
 
I am so wanting to be there next year!
