The Lovegrass Music Festival Association (LMFA) is so very pleased to announce that it has once again received a generous grant of $5,000 from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, Logan, Kansas. The Dane G. Hansen Foundation has a mission to provide opportunities for residents of Northwest Kansas to maximize their quality of life through the creation of strong communities, robust economic opportunities, and a flourishing environment of growth. As such, the LMFA is honored to be among such recipients. This year, the LMFA will utilize the contribution to fund our headlining band, The Fretliners, from Colorado, as well as to upgrade our portable toilets.
The LMFA began as a simple idea between friends who frequent Wilson State Park. Each year the festival has grown in stature and reputation, boasting a lineup including some of the nation's most sought-after roots musical acts. This year, the festival runs from August 8th-10th and is held at the Lovegrass campground in beautiful Wilson, KS. Thanks to support from generous donors, such as the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, music lovers flock to rural Kansas each August to enjoy the festival for free-will donations, which would cost them hundreds of dollars to attend elsewhere. As the festival has grown and flourished, attendees and bluegrass musicians from widening geographic areas have made the pilgrimage to scenic Russell County, Kansas, to enjoy music, community, and a reprieve from urban life.
