The day will start off with a short play chasing King Winter away and welcoming Lady Spring followed by some of the grades performing their May Pole dance. By noon all of the attractions will be open for everyone to enjoy. Please remember to bring sun screen, blankets, chairs and bathing suits for the children to use on the water slide.

Robin Dean Salmon
"Robin Dean Salmon is an anthropologist of sorts. At times living the life of a gypsy, traveling the world, amassing the experiences it would take most several lifetimes to accumulate. From this he has developed an intrinsic understanding of what it means to be human. A base insight that somehow eludes most, perhaps due to lack of awareness or just simple indifference. It is songwriters like Salmon who help us to look at ourselves and this world in which we live with a bit more clarity." -HANNAH CROWELL-

AZ Dunun Ensemble
The Arizona Dunun Ensemble is a drum group comprised of players from Sedona, Cornville, Cottonwood, Prescott, and Flagstaff, Arizona, who specialize in West African percussion. The Ensemble is dedicated to learning traditional rhythms and songs, which accompany the Djembe, or "Jebe Bara," which means Drum of Unity. Learn more at www.azdunun.org
The Poet and The Serpent
The Poet & The Serpent formed in late 2012, and something magical was born. Rachel with her strong Celtic songwriting roots, competent guitar playing and gutsy/ etherial voice, perfectly blend with Lynzi’s atmosphere creating beats and excellent ear for dynamic production. This duo, an undiscovered gem, once discovered will snowball the scene with their dragon power essence!
PK Gregory
PK’s songwriting style careens wildly around the alt-country and folk genres like Hank Williams on a souped-up Vespa - rooted in tradition, but with a kind of laissez-faire European eclecticism that is decidedly modern.
In other words, fans of old-time music will find much to like, but this is not an attempt at a purist revival by any stretch!

The Christopher Robin Band
"From Fairfield, Conn. to a little apartment in San Francisco to Music City, USA - Nashville, Tenn. to the mapmakers - singer/songwriter Christopher Robin has seen and done it all, a traveled troubadour cut from the same cloth as the music legends he so reveres"
