Jam Session
Bring yer git-fiddle and yer harmoniker.
Bring your saxophone and your clarinet.
Bring your singer, your clapper and your finger-snapper.
Mama don't 'low no frownin' roun' here!

It's a free-form, free-flowing hootenanny jam session for one and all. But don't be late comin' 'round the mountain; the jam session happens Thursday night, for a fun event kickoff.

Potluck Picnic
Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, and who knows what all—Friday at 11:30 AM we have a finger-lickin' good time. Cook something, bring something to cook, or visit the grocery across the road, but join us. Bring something to grill if you like and a sidedish to share. Plates, drinks, condiments, barbecue pits, and charcoal will be provided. Please also bring a blanket, or your own folding chairs. The picnic is free of charge.

Campfire Meeting
Mountain drought and fire restrictions have sometimes limited the flames, but intrepid FOTS participants always have a campfire meeting after the Friday night speaker. In some wet years, it's been a full-fledged bonfire. One very dry year it was a flashlight meeting. It can be a gas-fired fire ring, but it's always warm and spiritual. ring a flashlight for easy navigating. The location of This year's Campfire Meeting will be announced at the conference. B

Dance
After the Saturday night speaker meeting we dance. Come one, come all, young or old, cool or clutzy—do as the spirit moves you! It's fun and free. A Colorado DJ will spin the disks.

Meditation
The book Alcoholics Anonymous suggests evening and morning prayer and meditation. Optional group meditations are a FOTS tradition. Come for a quiet time with your fellow trudgers on the Road of Happy Destiny—every day at 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
