STILL AVAILABLE CD FEATURES PERFORMERS

AT '2012 BEAR FESTIVAL

The Bear on the Square Mountain Festival has produced its first CD, which features performers from this year's event.  The CD was introduced at the 16th annual Bear on the Square Festival and will continue to be on sale this year.

"This project is something people have been asking us to do, and I have to say that the result is an impressive compilation of songs and musicians," said Glenda Pender, president of Bear on the Square.

Entitled "Bear on the Square 2012", the album is priced at $10 and includes one song each from Ugly Cousin, BlueBilly Grit, John Lilly, Whitepath, Curley Maple, Glenda Pender, The Rosin Sisters, the Pick & Bow Band, The Georgia Crackers, Curtis Jones with Insonnia, the Packway Handle Band, the Buzzard Mountai Boys, and John Grimm & Beverly Smith. All proceeds will go to help pay festival expenses.

During this year's festival, which is scheduled Saturday and Sunday, April 20-21, in Dahlonega, the CD will be available at the CD sales table in the MainStage Tent, at all tables where Bear t-shirts and other merchandise are sold. Information about the CD is also available on the festival website at www.bearonthesquare.org.
