Summer flute events

In an effort to support all things NAF...

There is a great event coming up in August that I missed last year but really hope to attend this year. Contact information is below along with links to the event.

Also here are photos that a few of our friends shared from Timber Flute Festival 2008. Thanks to Jim Krysan and Kelly McCauley for the permission to share their photos. Above (L to R) Ron Warren, Janice Torres, Maria Oria, Carl Bolyard, Rowena Mills

The Miami Valley Flute Circle of southwestern Ohio is holding the 2nd Annual SunWatch Native Flute Gathering August 23 and 24, 2008, in Dayton Ohio. We invite you to join us. SunWatch Indian Village, a National Historic Landmark, is a reconstruction of an 800-year old village built by the Ft. Ancient Indians on this site. This provides a very unique authentic setting for the Flute Gathering. The website http://www.sunwatch.org/ is full of information about this historic site.

Performing throughout the weekend will be top-notch national level flute players including Jeff Ball, Peter Phippen, Jan Seiden, Jonny Lipford, Douglas Blue Feather, John DeBoer and others, as well as grass roots flute circles and players of all ages. There will be vendors, storytelling, native foods and lots of flutes! To see pictures from last year’s Flute Gathering, please go to:
