This Saturday and Sunday (June 16th & 17th) is the first annual Oklahoma Celtic Music and Heritage Festival at the Payne County Expo Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. This is an official Oklahoma Centennial event to help Oklahoma celebrate 100 years of statehood. There will be lots of music and athletic events. There will be several open sessions on the porches of the expo center, which I plan to participate in on Saturday. I'll also be peddling a few of my flutes and promoting my monthly flute/whistle workshop at the Oklahoma City Traditional Music Association. There will actually be an open session on Friday evening (the 15th) at the Best Western in Stillwater for the guests who have arrived early for the event.
