Yes, this is a photo of the square dance for the Fraley Festival for traditional music at Carter Caves, Kentucky. It's always the first Saturday of September.

Some of the people that I'm dancing with I got to meet at an earlier Bluegrass Festival this summer. So we became festy-besties, even though there's like 30 years age difference between us. We were camping together, and so I got to meet the rest of their family. I got to meet their daughter-in-law, she's of a different ethnicity, but has since married into this Bluegrass music family and has been learning their family songs from two generations ago that their family actually wrote.
