3.  NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES FOR THE 2007 GRASSY HILL KERRVILLE NEW FOLK COMPETITION

We started taking entries for New Folk on December 1.  Songwriters are given two options for submitting their songs.  They may send their tape/CD directly to the festival office or they may submit electronically by using Sonicbids.  Either way, the official guidelines MUST be followed.

The official guidelines for the 2007 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters are posted on our website at www.kerrvillefolkfestival.com/newfolk.htm.  There are a few significant changes to the guidelines so be sure to read them carefully.

We will accept the first 800 entries we receive prior to March 15, 2007.  The 32 Finalists will be announced on or about April 15.

4.  2007 FESTIVAL RV SITE RESERVATIONS

We are currently taking REPEAT 18-DAY RV SITE reservations only for next year’s Kerrville Folk Festival.  If you had an 18-day reservation for the 2006 festival, you have until December 31 to reclaim your site for 2007.  After that, we’ll begin taking 18-day reservations for any remaining spots on a first come first served basis. 

Don’t be left out in the Cold (or the Meadow for that matter)…Take Care of your 2007 RV Reservation Now!

5.  DONATE TO THE BACKSTAGE SHOWER FUND

I think we all understand how important it is to keep are volunteer staff clean and happy.  While the existing backstage shower and bathroom facilities are still "functional" they are rapidly decaying to the point where they will soon be unusable.  With your help we can raise the money needed to build a new structure that will last for another 35 years. Please give what you can!  You may make a donation on the website
(www.kerrvillefolkfestival.com/shower_fund.htm ) through secure Pay Pal transaction, or you can mail a check payable to:

Backstage Shower Fund
c/o Kerrville Folk Festival
PO Box 291466
Kerrville TX 78029

Thanks to a generous donation from Robert Orenstien, we almost have the funds available to do this project, but we still need more.
