Summer is ancient history. Fall is but a wispy memory. Winter is upon us, dashing our hopes on icebergs of despair. But Wait! Here comes Cabin Fever Fest, a sunny isle in a sea of icy white flakes! Yep, it's a daylong hunk of those Summer Festivals where you can catch up with old friends and meet new ones too! Better yet, there are jams, workshops, good food and a nifty Open Stage with Professional Audio and Lighting!

We will be accepting walk-in registrations beginning at 12:00 noon on Saturday, February 19, 2005. There will be a limited number of dinners available for purchase at the event.
Following the afternoon workshops and jamming is a dinner by Shackamaxon Catering. Then, the Open Stage/Concert happens. Event tickets are only $26 in advance and $29 at the door (for nonmembers it's $31 and $34). You can buy the catered dinner for an additional $19, or pack a meal. BYO(Beer/Wine).

Report from Cabin Fever Fest V
With just a hint of spring in the air, the Fifth Annual Cabin Fever Fest drew a great crowd of folkies feverish to forget February and put winter behind them.
A full day of workshops from blues to bones kept the Feverers busy. At any time, those who couldn't find a workshop that interested them could be found jamming in the dining room.
After a fine meal prepared by Richard of Moonlight Catering, the Open Stage kept the music going until almost 10:30. Rumor has it that hardy souls could be found jamming until well after last call from The Commodore Barry Club's bar.
See you next year at CFF VI - February 18, 2006
PS - I think the club closed on them - what a first!
