MBOTMA winter concert March 4-7, 2010

Plymouth, MN will host the annual Winter Bluegrass Festival this weekend, drawing musicians from throughout the Upper Midwest.

They'll be pickin' in the halls and grinnin' all over the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center this weekend as more than 50 bluegrass bands, amateur and professional alike, descend on Plymouth for the annual Winter Bluegrass Weekend.

The event, organized by the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association on the first weekend of March each year, attracts several thousand music fans who come to enjoy a break from the winter doldrums in the form of a three-day indoor music and dance festival.

Ah, we so bad wanted to go but it is a 600 mile drive. (J.W.)

Motels are hard to get because of the ACD festival in Auburn about 20 miles away. Best bet is to get a room in Fort Wayne on the north side. Some motels are listed here
