Has anybody ever been to the Lakes Bluegrass Festival (http://www.lakesbluegrassfestival.com/default.html) before? I'll be there this year and would like to know how it works. I am new to festivals and a bit unclear how to get a good shot at a slot in the workshops, for example.
Are venders present? Are there things for non-musicians to do apart from the concerts?
