AshokanWS2011

What a great Ashokan! For us, Junior's woodshed was the place! We sure did miss Dave, and Mary, and others, but we had some great new people, too! Take a look at the pictures and have some fun memories. Click on the little pictures to see the big pictures, and click on the big pictuers to see the NEXT picture. If you'd like to have a high-resolution copy of any of these, just drop me an email at jon-at-planetbanjo-dot-com. And if you want to post these pictures on Facebook, for heaven's sake, give me a credit! See you next year, or hopefully sooner.
