Hoot Owls at Cooper's Glen

You can see--and, moreover, hear--the great bluegrass, gospel, and old-timey music of the Hoot Owls at Cooper's Glen Music Festival on Saturday, January 23, at 1 p.m. You'll recognize at least one of those Owls as our own talented Robin Nott. Just head on down to the Radisson Hotel. A day pass for all the music all day and night on Saturday is $30, and that includes evening performances by Joel Mabus and the Dillards. Let the toe-tapping begin!

Each performance, 4 audience members are selected to compete onstage in the spelling bee. Right now, the plan is to select these people about 40 minutes before the show starts. If you want a chance to get onstage, please arrive early and sign up.
