"Went to this jam a year ago and was not what was expected. It was in a bar and the regular players were there. No one else playing. Too many drunks. They said they were there each week. This was my first and last trip there. Not recommended."
-Bob, Ohio

"My friends and I from Fostoria just wouldn't miss this awesome bluegrass jam at the Findly Moose! It's really become the highlight of each and every month for us and we'd like to say thanks to the Findlay Moose Lodge...

But most of all, "thank you, thank you, thank you" to all the great players and singers who give their all and have such great love for the music. They're totally dedicated to the music they love to play so much... and it really shows!

Even though we can't play instruments, we love the music just as much as they do. Always looking forward to the next jam! Best regards to you all and thank you!"

"This is the best jam I have attended. Not just one big jam. The seperate rooms make it more enjoyable because there aren't too many pickers in a session."

-Bob, Ohio

"After driving over an hour to this place, there was no one there. The telephone number is the answering machine of the park ranger, who never answers the phone. I wouldn't recommend going there unless you can verify someone is playing at the time you call."

-Brent from Texas
