(That's 3°F
for my American friends) thoughts of summer started flowing, more precisely thoughts
of this year's edition of the Mariposa Folk Festival.
The last few years I've been writing about the festival, its performers, its history and most importantly its impact on the people that attend it. As the festival travels into its 53rd year (14th back in its home of Orillia) we already have a few performers announced with countless more to be revealed in the coming months. So far the list includes American folk singer Arlo Guthrie, Canadian singer, and songwriter Murray McLauchlan , singer, songwriter Lennie Gallant and The MacKenzie Blues Band (singer Tara MacKenzie just tears it up, so don't miss them).

The heart of the Mariposa Folk Festival has always been
its Volunteers, and so like every other year it's time to start thinking of
helping out, you can go HERE and choose the appropriate option – Returning
Volunteer or New Volunteer, I volunteered a few years ago and it's lots of fun.
