The music was phenomenal!! Especially the Purple Hull group from from Texas and Nashville!! Western swing and old time spiritual gospel all played excellently on banjo mandolin, base guitar, and regular guitar. What a treat as was the fruit-filled fry bread. The Old Wardens Rendezvous was well attended and totally authentic!!! S great afternoon for the two day event.

It is what it says it is. 😅 It was a nice space for the Old Wadena Rendezvous. The steps leading down to the river was a nice addition. Didn't have much time to explore the rest of the area.
