"Hey all, this is Hannah's mom here - I wasn't at the festival (she attended with Michael Suchernick's family) so I really appreciate the great pictures! Hannah had an awesome time learning and playing with the other kids. She called us almost every night to tell us about what she was doing. We are *so* excited for that she had the opportunity to attend and meet other young musicians."

"Dear members of the Kids' Academy,

This is Vivian's family from Hong Kong. It had been a wonderful time at the Podunk festival. Vivian really enjoyed it very much and would like to thank each of you for being so nice and helpful to her. Please keep in touch and wish you all become great bluegrass players."
