Fantasy Camp 2009 - What A Blas It Wast!!

Kingston Trio Fantasy Camp 10 was magical. There aren't many words to describe how everything came together with such energy, love, fun and camaraderie. I think we are all recovering from an event that had us up for what seemed like days at a time. The camper shows were excellent, the jamming went on until 5:30 a.m., the fun abounded and everyone just had a spanking good time. There was an incredible amount of talent out and about, not the least of which were the campers. Some really great songs were picked by the campers and sung beautifully. Some show highlights were Josh White, jr., who held the audience spellbound, and Jason Shane, Josh Reynolds and Tom Guard who graced us with a few songs. In the audience were their mothers, the three original wives of the original Kingston Trio - Gretchen Guard, Louise Shane and Joan Reynolds. They watched amidst much laughter and tears. The rest of Bob Shane's family was there, too. All the kids and grandchildren danced and sang along with the shows. The Kingston Trio concert was the crowning event and the campers got the show off to an energetic start as they opened the show singing from the wings to take the stage. The crowd really got pumped. The Kingston Trio put on a stellar show. The crowd sang along and really got into it. To say a good time was had by all was an understatement. We wish that everyone could be at camp, and we're eager for next year's. Wish we didn't have to wait that long. (2010 FC news below)
