Galax photos online

Galax multimedia on Richmond Times web siteDean Hoffmeyer – banjo playing photographer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch – has posted a very nice multi-media slide show of images from the 72nd Annual Galax Old Fiddlers Convention on the Times-Dispatch web site.

The photos are splendid and truly capture the “Galax vibe.” If you look closely, you’ll even see a few bluegrass notables enjoying themselves at Felts Park.

The paper also ran a piece on the festival in their print edition last Sunday, which can be read online.

UPDATE 8/10: There is now a second multimedia slide show from Galax posted at inRich.com, the Times-Dispatch site.
