Welcome To The Busy Bird Family Bluegrass Festival The Dates: July 9th, 10th, & 11th 2010

http://www.busybirdbluegrass.8k.com/

My name is Terry (Kithcart) Patrick. I play in the bluegrass group "called C & T Bluegrass with my Brother Carl Kitchart" and some of our Friends. Our Mother loved bluegrass music, and enjoyed going to festivals. She often said she wanted us to have our own festival, so with her help we started the festival in 2004. She was a wonderfull Mom and had a great personality, and very well liked. We (the Kithcart Children) in Honor of our Mother, named the festival after her. Her maiden name was Bird and she was Busy raising 9 children. Her niece and nephews called her Aunt Busy, which then led to, Busy Bird. That is how the festival name came about. She enjoyed the Festival very much. She was only able to attend the first festival, because she passed away in Jan. 2005. She was loved by all and we miss her deeply, but her memory and name live on through the festival.
