My brother Frank had informed us about a Bluegrass event in Kingman, Az., where our parents live. He arranged for the camping spots at Stetson Winery in Kingman. This would be our first time at a Bluegrass event as well as Stetson Winery first time hosting a Bluegrass event.
Julie and I left our home in Moval late Friday afternoon arriving round 09:00 hours at the winery. My brother met us at the RV entrance and led us to our camping spot. We did wander around a bit after getting settled in, most of the vendors were closed.

Saturday morning came in with a colorful cloud cover of grays, blues and reds, a reflexion of the coming day.
It was very quiet around our site, my TC next to my brother Howard (with grandkids) and my brother Frank and his wife Theresa in their class B.
With coffee in hand and camera ready I when forth in search of other TCs, which among the sea of RV’s were very few but nonetheless were found.
Back at our TC, my Julie had breakfast ready, just some cream of wheat and eggs, this stuff will stick with you all day. My brothers had rose and were ready to head over today’s event of pickers. Music from the stage could be heard even out by our camper, it simplify was that quiet out here.
The below video is of some of the picker we listen to that day.

The main building for Stetson Winery is a large barn like building in which houses their tasting bar and other items.
People wandered in and out of the barn, sitting for awhile to the performers on stage. We headed over the beer truck; there we caught up with my two brothers, Frank and Howard.
Frank told us that our parent would be here shortly and we would meet them at the campsite.
Front L to R; Mom, Pops, Frank, and Theresa. Back L to R; Howard’s grandkids, Julie, Alex and Howard.
For my brother Frank this would be a shakedown of their Class B camper (new to them). We headed back to the event center for more bluegrass and lunch. The day pasted by quickly and soon the sun was giving it good-bye sign, the day’s events ended and the after hours gatherings started.
Several groups started playing on their own, just picking and fiddling. We just moved from one group to another listening.
There was passing around the bottle, but no drunkenness was to be found anywhere or fights just folks having a good time playing their music. It was a wonderful evening full of good people and family, unfortunately the next day it would be gone and Julie and I would have to head home.
Sunday we said our good-byes and with the sight of my brother Howard sleeping on top of the Ford Explorer.
I believe there’s another Bluegrass event in our future.
