News from Clint from Paralounge:
Paralounge Drum Gathering – October 16-18, 2009 – At the Cerveny Conference Center in Live Oak Florida on HWY 90.
Clint’s comments sound really exciting:
“Cerveny Conference Center is a beautiful facility on over 530 acres of pristine Florida woodlands. The facility is owned by the Episcapol Church but is not a religious institution. The facility is open to open to any responsible event. White Lake is at the center of the property and can be seen from the Conference area. It has been a lot larger but has suffered a bit from recent drought. It is still a large lake, but when the water comes back, it’s a really big lake.”
This sounds like an ideal place for Paralounge. $55.00 per person / Children 3 – 12 are $15.00
The price includes primitive camping October 16,17 2009. The price also includes all workshops and performances. Meals are separate.
