Anyone out there in FHO land going to  West Plains Fiddle and Harmonica Fest tomorrow???

I didnt know they held one! I lived near West Plains for a long time. My wife and I play the Ozark Heritage Fest held in West Plains. Is it held at the civic center or out at Hoba Park ? Thanks for this post. It gives me a heads up.

They used to have the Heritage Fest out at HOBA till they moved it downtown. Those were nice festivals.

I've never been, but am hoping to get down there. It's about 2 hours from our house and will be a nice day trip even if the festival doesn't pan out.

The HOBA park is a great music park. Nice ampitheater setting, shade for the spectators, nice homey stage with a seperate platform for dancers. And the folks who administer it are pretty friendly. Primarily a bluegrass bunch, although they always appreciated good old time music too. Camping is available too, or at least used to be. I've had some good times there.
