FLORIDA BANJO SOCIETY
Every Memorial Day Weekend the Florida Banjo Society hosts the Florida Old Time Banjo Championship at the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs, Florida.  This year the winners were:

First Place:  Greg Allen
First Runner Up:  Pete Sucsi
Second Runner Up:  Nancy Greene

The "Banjo Seed" Tent was a popular attraction for pickers of all levels including some very promising beginners.  Wives were ellated at the concept of dropping their spouses off at this new dimension in adult day care while they visited the gift shop convieniently located next door. 

The annual meeting of the Society elected new officers and board members for the year, distributed the latest news letter, and started planning for next years events.

Goldtone Banjo, a Florida Banjo Maker, donated the banjos and gift certificate that were presented to our winners.
