Elected as a Director to the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals
This past 13-16th of October, the annual conference for the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals was held in Niagara Falls, Ontario. These weekends are a carnival of seminars, concerts, networking and parties over 4 days and nights with the Who’s Who of the North American festival scene. I was involved as a stage hosting MC for the official Showcases on the Friday evening of the conference, as well as having run a successful campaign to join the Board of Directors. I am very excited about helping to steer this important organization over the next three years and in bringing my personal emphases of folk dance and greening initiatives to the table.

If you are curious to see what some of this weekend of music looks like, you can see my photos from the 2009 OCFF conference in Ottawa in the picture gallery on this website.
