the Last GASP
(note: we changed locations in 2010)
is a small, relaxed, no-paid-performer, no-schedule, folk festival at a wooded camp in Galway, NY (20 minutes west of Saratoga Springs). It is a chance to get away and make music, hike, sing, or hang out with old friends, and/or make new ones. It is not open to the public - only to PSG members and their guests. Usually there are about 100 people who attend, many of whom attest that it is their favorite folk festival, large or small, because of the welcoming, family atmosphere and good music that happens.
More information and directions for members.
Labor Day Weekend (weekend before the first Monday in Sept) This is the place for Pickin' and Singin' and Friends. No other agenda. No schedule at all.
Camp Woodhaven 2015 Alexander Rd, Galway NY 12074; 518/882-9351
(rarely answered.) Its a girlscout camp. We rent the whole facility for this weekend plus a few days before. We moved from our previous labor day weekend retreat of many wonderful years, Camp Brookledge, due to a change in management and state of the site & economy. (check the Woodhaven & Brookledge links)
The fee is $15, or $5 for one night; kids are free. Cash only please. Our treasurer, Bruce Pomeroy, collects it; you may have to search for him. He will also take your annual dues if you want to join on the spot, or continue membership.
Directions Go to Galway NY; then north on rt 147 about a mile to Alexander Rd.
Look for the PSG sign.
We hope someone put it up before you get there
