SUMMARY:New River Birding & Nature Festival
DESCRIPTION:April 27 – May 2\, 2026 Registration opens in October\nSince 2002\, the annual New River Birding & Nature Festival takes place in and around the New River Gorge National Park & River in the heart of the upland\, hardwood forests that Cornell Lab of Ornithology identified as a crucial stopover habitat for the continued survival of species such as Golden-winged\, Blue-winged\, and Swainson’s Warbler\, as well as the Scarlet Tanager. Our bird and nature watching festival highlights more than 100 bird species on a variety of daily birding tours. \nIt’s our favorite week of the year and we like to think of it as a five-star nature vacation where you nurture your mind and body by connecting with nature in the fresh spring air of the Appalachian Mountains. \nYou won’t find rows of vendor tables with cool stuff from interesting places. You will find dinner tables with all kinds of folks from all sorts of places who enjoy exploring the phenomena of the physical world. A friendly bird and nature watching vacation for everyone\, we offer a variety of daily guided birding and nature excursions\, world-class speakers\, the finest collection of guides\, tasty food\, and a back-porch atmosphere unmatched by any other birding festival. Signature guided bird watching experiences include opportunities to visit a wide range of habitats\, world class instruction for those wanting to enhance their skills\, and the best guide-to-guest ratio on the festival circuit. All skill levels are welcome.

SUMMARY:2026 Whitewater Whirl Contra Dance Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 2026 Whitewater Whirl. Whether you’re a dedicated\, would-not-miss-it Whirler or new to the weekend\, we look forward to dancing with you! The weekend is held at the Fayette County Park 4-H camp near Fayetteville\, WV. Online registration is now open. at https://www.footmad.org/whirl\nThe Bands\nLouisville-based Hot Coffee Breakdown is one of the most popular bands on the contra dance weekend circuit. Tom Cunningham’s fiery fiddle combines with the driving rhythms of Kate Sanders on keyboard and Luis de Leon on percussion and harmonica. Their dynamic range and musical crescendos will make you want the dance to go on forever!\nWe welcome The Hollertones–Paul Brown on banjo\, Linda Scutt on fiddle\, Jeanie Thieken on guitar and vocals and Nick Weiland on bass–for their Whirl debut. Their lend of traditional\, old time and Celtic music has made them popular at contra dances throughout the Midwest and East Coast.\nThe callers\nThe talented Darlene Underwood from Cincinnati returns for her second Whirl to spread happiness\, connection and fun. It’s a Whirl debut for the talented and very funny Bob Isaacs\, choreographer of so many creative dances\, who’s driving all the way from Princeton\, NJ (thanks\, Bob).\nWe’re delighted that Gaye Fifer will again join us to teach the Beyond the Basics waltz workshop. Regular Whirlers know that Gaye called at every Whirl from 2005 to 2024. She’s taking a break\, but we hope she’ll be back as a regular Whirl caller in future.\nIn 2024\, we added a late-night techno contra with DJ Polly Whittaker teaming with “Queen Darlene.” It’s back by popular demand\, retitled as “DJ Contra\,” and with “King Bob” on the team.\nOur sound engineer\, maestro Hanno Meingast\, will be making the music in the hall sound great.\nAccommodation and meal plan\nCabin accommodation (metal frame bunk beds) or camping onsite at the Fayette County Park 4-H camp near Fayetteville\, WV is included in the weekend price. When you register\, let us know if you’ll be staying in one of the cabins\, designated as coed\, women and men.\nYou can pitch your tent anywhere\, but if you’re pulling a camper the camp staff will tell you where to park.\nThe camp will open on Thursday night\, April 30\, for early arrivals. Consider staying Sunday night\, May 3\, hiking or rafting in the New River Gorge.\nCafé One Ten in Oak Hill\, WV\, will provide catering—a five-meal plan with vegetarian options. Jennifer Horrocks and Heather Oelker will be running the kitchen and dining hall\, with Jennifer preparing her signature desserts for Saturday dinner. Heather\, designated as official Whirl coffee mug curator\, will be bringing her full cafe collection.\nFinally\, we know that some of you (I’m not saying who!) struggle up and down the hill from the dance hall to the dining hall. This year\, we’re working with the camp management to arrange a golf cart shuttle service to conserve your dancing energy!\nWe’ll see you at the Whirl!\nDavid\, Chair\, Whirl planning committee
