Whether you come to every weekend, come occasionally, or have never tried it, please take our weekend survey.

Got Kids?
Spring and Fall we often offer kids' programs, such as a “petting zoo” where they can actually handle different instruments (fun for adults too!) and more. So bring the kids, grand-kids, etc., and encourage families you know to join us. See also the Children's FAQs.

at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa, 400 Granite Road, Kerhonkson, NY. (15 miles west of New Paltz, NY) map.

Information: download 2012 flyer or call 718-549-1344. (after 11 AM). “One of my favorite memories is of the weekend where we were snowed in—but who cared. We were comfortable, fed well—there were scrabble players and our traditional jigsaw puzzles and, best of all, music all around. I love the relaxed atmosphere of this weekend and look forward to it every year.” -Eileen Pentel The best experience is to come for the whole weekend and stay at the hotel, but you can also come just for the day (or part). . pdf 2012 flyer with registration form including all rates (370K) ... on-line registation (service charge aplies) ...
