This is our 16th year of meeting to celebrate the end of a busy summer with
music and fellowship.

The festival takes place at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds in Lancaster, Ohio, which is about 40 minutes down U.S. Rt. 33 from Columbus.

If this is a return visit to the festival, you know that the Granstand and other buildings provide wonderful setting for both classroom and shelter from the sun, rain and other weather. The surrounding green space is a pleasant camping area. Leashed pets are welcomed too! New this year is a jam tent for those who just cannot get enough of that.

Friday evening is our traditional Bean & Cornbread Supper, which is provided free of charge by our club. Saturday features the Potluck Supper, so bring something to share with 8-10 people. There are also many restaurants in the area from which to choose.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Baymont Inn & Suites in Lancaster. Let them know that you are attending Harmony Harvest and you will get 10% off the regular price of your room. If at least 10 rooms are booked before Aug. 20, you will receive 15% off the regular room price.
