We have added three internet networking features. Our website email signup is ready. we are using a service called MailChimp to manage the list.  If you signup on the left side, I plan to send occasional short announcements.  The website will continue to be the source of details.  For facebook fans, the link is at the bottom of each page.  In addition, you can subscribe to a RSS feed of the Bear homepage.

New for the Bear - Instrument Sitting

After hours of 'picking' on the Square, now you can take a break without carrying around your instrument. At the Information Booth on the Square, we will provide 'Instrument Sitting'.  Just like a coat check at the fancy clubs, we will give a token and you can reclaim your case when you return. Still, you should put a card with your name and number inside the case, so you shouldn't leave with a better instrument than you came with - The Management.

Off the Square 'pickin' spots

The Smith House spot is actually the little brick courtyard on Main Street on the way to the Holly - behind the yellow bldg on the corner of Main and Chestatee. There will be a sign at the steps to the courtyard . This is compliments of The Smith House and Dress Up Boutique.

The other location is the lawn of Shenanigan's, corner of Chestatee and Warwick, compliments of Shenanigan's. There will be a sign at that corner as well.
