ROMP 2010 in Owensboro, KY: 23-6 June 2010

From a good friend of bluegrass outside the USA - the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky:

The International Bluegrass Music Museum requests your assistance in getting the word out about our upcoming festival, ROMP: the River Of Music Party, 23-26 June 2010. ROMP is the Museum's annual fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the preservation of bluegrass music history, artifacts, and collections. We have very little funding for advertising and therefore rely on the goodwill of our friends and supporters.

If you'd like to help, we'd be happy to trade links with you. Please direct your link to us here and let us know how you'd like yours to be posted.
