Just in case you aren not on their e-mail list, this is just in from the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. I have attended man of their events and a visit to the Bishop Farmstead, their book store, and auditorium is always delightful. I plan to attend this one and hope you do too!
PPA is excited to host an afternoon of music by the Greater Pinelands Dulcimer Society and a book signing by Michael Gabriele, author of New Jersey Folk Revival Music History & Tradition. PPA's visitor center will be open and light refreshments will be available. This event is free to the public and is family friendly.
