It's Podunk week in Goshen, CT. We're busy transforming the Goshen Fairgrounds into a four day bluegrass paradise. In fact, the only four day bluegrass festival in Connecticut this year.
We have a tremendous music line up, awesome food and merchandise vendors, and lots to do for the kiddies. Did we mention camping and pickin' with your friends?
