From back cover: "The Walnut Valley Festival was launched in 1972 when a guitar maker, a farmer and a businessman built their own music festival from the ground up. It has made the small town of Winfield into an annual destination for acoustic musicians and music lovers from around the world, and it has always been participatory, with the informal campsite pickin' as much a part of the event as the state shows and instrumental contests."

Personal note: This is a wonderful festival to attend if you like folk, Irish, and bluegrass music. It draws amazing talent!
