Most folks think of IBMA and all the music being played on stages and in hallways and hotel rooms, but for folks taking a break from the music watching or playing, there are other fun options too, like their fantastic bluegrass music related films at the film festival; lots of really cool arts and crafts and merchandise with a bluegrass theme could be checked out and/or purchased. There were massage tables with massage therapists, dance workshops, dance shows, experts telling histories and stories of bluegrass, and all sorts of food vendors inside and outside all weekend.
