Grey Fox Best Campsite Award Has Gone "Green"

The prize goes to the campsite that creatively shows the best use of space at the festival. Everyone who camps at Grey Fox is in the running. The award is selected by our Recycling Crew, who cover every inch of the Walsh Farm in search of that "spatial triumph." This year's award goes to Jim Griffeth of Schenectady, New York, who scaled down and basically recycled a used very small camper — and spiffed it up with the Grey Fox logo.

Best Campsite Winner from 2008!

Here is Jim's story:

"My name is James A. Griffeth and I'm from Schenectady NY. My Nephew, Fred Dennis and his lovely wife Andrea introduced me to the bluegrass scene 7 years ago at Grey Fox. I have always had a passion for bluegrass music since I was a boy way back in the 50s. I now count down the months and days till the next event and seeing all of you again. I have alot of memories at the Rothvoss Farm and am sure you do too and along with you will miss it. The Walsh Farm turned out to be a huge success and with all the work Grey Fox put into it , there will surely be many more years of Blugrass music there with all of the renown and famous groups who perform there."

You, too, can win next year! Say goodbye to big, sprawling fancy campsites and turn your home-sweet-home into an efficient, environmentally-compatible space. Think small. Think green. And YOU could win a pair of tickets to Grey Fox 2010.

The winner will be chosen on Saturday by our very perceptive and eco-friendly team of judges. The winner's name will be posted at the Information Booth by the end of the Supper Break, and announced on stage during the Saturday evening show.

So plan ahead, get creative and go green! Good luck!

"I brought my nephew to his first bluegrass festival, met great people, saw great music, but the best was jamming on the hill with a variety of groups of people, found a little intimate moment with a Townes Van Zandt tune, looked over our shoulder, and saw the sunrise ....."Wow ... an all nighter"...most fun he ever had."
