How about carrying a small four-stringed instrument around with a goofy grin without getting strange looks from passersby? WE WILL HAVE THAT TOO! Just think – an entire day when you can share your passion for ukuleles with other passionate ukulele folk. Workshops, Concerts, Community Stage – opportunities for enjoyment will abound!
