We heard from Larry Baker; who along with his wife, Sondra, have produced one of the Southwest's more successful festivals. According to Baker, the first 6 years were held at the LaPaz Country Fairgrounds just outside of Parker, AZ on the Colorado River and now they’re in their fourth year just up the road from Parker at Lake Havasu City, AZ.
Some of the biggest names in Bluegrass have come to know Arizona and the Southwest thanks to Larry and Sandra Baker’s dedicated efforts to attract top name bands over the years.
“It’s a welcome retreat from the cold weather back home” said one snowbird who first came to Arizona to see this festival because of the entertainment value and the warm climate. “Now we try to come every year” she said.
