    RELEASE:                                                         



    AUGUST 24, 2010

    Long before things were named Cleveland, North
    Olmsted or even Cleveland Metroparks, the early settlers were
    making Ohio their home.



     



    Relive the sights, hands-on activities, smells,
    tastes, and sweet sounds of great Americana music at Cleveland
    Metroparks annual, free fall event - the "Cedar Valley
    Settlers Celebration & Music Festival" on Sunday,
    September 19 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at FrostvilleMuseum in Rocky
    River Reservation in North Olmsted.



     



    The nearly one-mile long Pioneer Trail
    connecting FrostvilleMuseum and Rocky RiverNatureCenter



    features crafts and activities, food sampling, live music,
    pioneer toys, and more!



     



    Sights -
    pioneer-costumed folks and storytellers will be on hand to share
    stories from the by-gone era.  A
    mini-encampment of a pioneer excursion camp is a part of the
    festivities, too.



    Hands-on Activities - try a
    variety of pioneer skills and activities, including: candlestick
    dipping, basket weaving, playing with pioneer toys, rug weaving,
    butter churning, working the two-man saw, and more!



    Smells and Tastes - sample a
    potpourri of traditional foods, such as fire-roasted turkey,
    biscuits with freshly-churned butter, apple cider, apple butter,
    and more.  Additional refreshments will be available for
    purchase.



    Sweet Sounds - event-goers can
    listen to a great array of live entertainment from the Main Stage
    at FrostvilleMuseum to Rocky RiverNatureCenter's Trailside Stage to
    strolling musicians, all with toe-tapping music such as acoustic
    folk music, Americana, blue grass, square and contra dance, and
    more!  Visitors can also enjoy the Dance Tent and Storytelling
    in the Frostville Museum Chapel.  Plus, instrument-builders
    and 'how-to-play' areas will be set-up on the grounds.



     



    Taking the Main Stage at 2 p.m. is 7-time winner
    of the IBMA Bass Player of the Year Missy
    Raines. Missy Raines & the New Hip bridges the musical
    worlds of newgrass, jazz and any others they take a notion to
    explore.  Start with bluegrass virtuosity, add in a little
    jazz-tinged groove and a song-driven sensibility, and then dish it
    up with a hot band of young players.  The band moves easily
    from fun, funky instrumentals to sophisticated songs of longing and
    hope.



     



    Closing the afternoon on the Main Stage at 4 to
    5:30 p.m. are the purveyors of the nu-folk and bluegrass movement
    Crooked Still.  Equal parts ambassador and
    innovator as evidenced on their 2010 album release Some
    Strange Country
    on Signature Sounds.  The musical prowess
    of this defiantly non-traditional bluegrass quintet is on display
    on the new disc as radically re-imagined traditional fare
    blends seamlessly alongside original compositions and a surprising
    take on the Rolling Stones' "You Got The Silver."
