Third And Final Call for Mr. B’s Music Spectacular

 

Hey Dogwood, this is the third and final call for Mr. B’s Spring Music Spectacular, May 1- 3 down in Woodford Va. We have 9 campers (16 club members) signed up so far including:

 

Buelow, Herbert, Sohles, Cummings, Dudziak,

Brooks, Greenwood, Spain, & Warren

 

If you are just deciding to attend the Bluegrass rally (Yeah!!!), please call Ms. Billie Sue Goff at 757-660-8904 to make your reservation – be sure to tell her you are with Dogwood.  The rally fee is $20 per person.  Please mail your rally fee check to Jean Herbert, 3216 Cavalry Ridge Ct., Fredericksburg VA 22408.  The check should be made out to Jean Herbert, not Dogwood. Like last year, it will be held at Mr. B’s Event Park in Woodford, VA – on the west side of old Route 1 between Thornburg (Exit #118) and Ladysmith (Exit #110) off I-95.

 

Also, if you have a canopy we could borrow, please consider bringing it. Jean and I have one big canopy (13’x13’) but we could use at least two more – any size. 

 

On Wednesday evening (April 30th for you early arrivers) we are doing a potluck supper; Jean and I will bring fried chicken for all. Feel free to bring an appetizer, sides, or dessert to go with it.

 

Brunches for the next three days will be as follows:

 

Thursday morning, 9:30 am - Tequila Sunrises, with

·      Quiches

·      Sausage Links

·      Potatoes & onions

·      Fruit bowl, & Juices

Friday morning, 9:30 am – Bloody Marys, with

·      Pancakes

·      Bacon, syrup, butter

·      Eggs to order

·      Fruit & Juices

Saturday morning, 9:30 am – (Tres de Mayo instead of Cinco de Mayo) – Margaritas

·      Make your own breakfast burrito with 

·      Tortillas 

·      Scrambled eggs

·      Sausage

·      Cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole

·      Queso

·      Onions & peppers

·      Spanish rice

·      Juices & Fruit

 

We have two couples who are considering providing a simple dinner for us on two nights.  Otherwise, since there is no dinner break in the music, you may provide your own dinner, purchase dinner from Mr. B’s café, or join the group for a simple dinner back at our campsite (if those plans pan out). Folks will be coming and going to the stage area all day, every day. 

 

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

R Bring at least four chairs, two to set up and leave in front of the stage for the weekend and two for the dining tables at our campsite.

R To each meal, please bring your own plates, napkins, utensils, and drinks (except for juice and the alcohol offering). For folks new to Dogwood, this is a common practice for our rallies.

 

See you there!

Jean & Ed

Hello Dogwood! 

This is first call for the upcoming Mr. B’s Bluegrass Spring Music Spectacular on May 1-3, 2025. Like last year, it will be held at Mr. B’s Event Park in Woodford, VA – on the west side of old Route 1 just north of the Ladysmith exit off I-95. Ms. Billie Sue Goff (Event Director and good friend of the club) has set aside 10 spots for us – all together. If more sign up, that’s fine, you just might not be right next door to us. But that’s OK because the campground is easily crossed in minutes from wherever you get parked. The directions and signup sheet will be out on the Dogwood Blog site.   We have two families signed so far: us (the Herberts) and the Buelows.

Jean and I are hosting again for the brunch, but we will need a co-host. The music schedule, like last year, is: Music Starts at noon and goes without a dinner break to 10 pm. So, we are starting to put together the brunch plans. At this point, on Wednesday evening (for you early arrivers) we will be doing a potluck supper; Jean and I will bring fried chicken for all. Feel free to bring an appetizer, sides or dessert to go with it.  

Brunches for the next three days will start around 9:30 am and will include all the good food and drinks we are known for. So, if you haven’t already, please call Ms. Billie Sue Goff at 757-660-8904 and get your reservation in for the festival. See the Dogwood Blog Site for details, show list and directions – we hope to see you there!
