Bluegrass workshop…in a spa?

Rossetta Paxton recently wrote in to tell us about an event that she coordinates. It’s a unique event that takes place March 29th to April 2nd, 2006.

A UNIQUE one of a kind BLUEGRASS WORKSHOP held within the setting of a world-renowned health resort & guest ranch, located in the beautiful hills of the Cariboo in British Columbia Canada.
