Columbia River Gorge
Dulcimer Festival
at the
Menucha Retreat Center
The 1st Annual Mountain Dulcimer Workshop/Retreat
We had great instructors and met a lot of new friends. This was the first year for this event and it was very successful. Menucha plans on doing it again next year so mark your calendars now - June 3-5, 2011.
We had instructors and performers Lance Frodsham and Robert Force, who taught us so much and performed fabulous music in the evenings.
We also had very experienced instructors John Bole and Sally Smith who taught workshops at the beginning and intermediate levels.
