Steve Brown & the Bailers
This trio plays "a fine blend of Fairbanks folk." Steve Brown and the Bailers have been working up a good set of timeless originals and old favorites for your acoustical listening enjoyment. Give a listen to Steve Brown’s lyrics, Robin Feinman’s vocals, and Todd Denick’s thumpin’ bass.

Pie Contest
This oh-so-delicious part of the Li-Berry Music Festival celebrates the annual berry bounty to be found in the Alaskan Interior. Test your pie-making skills to the sound of great music!
Rules:
1. Pies must include berries, and be home-made (no store-bought!) Berries may be those traditionally thought of as berries or any by the strict botanical definition. Savory or sweet pies accepted.
2. $2 entry fee per pie. Multiple pie submissions by the same cook are perfectly fine.
3. Judges may be bribeable, but no guarantees. Cash bribes will be donated to the library (but you earn brownie points for those!).
4. Bring pies to the Blue Loon between 1 and 2:30 and register your entry. Judging begins at 2:30 sharp.
5. Award categories will be determined by the judges at the time of the contest. Winners will be announced at the music festival, and fabulous prizes (of course) awarded.
6. Leftover slices will be offered up to the audience for donation.

This even makes me wish Juneau was on the road system. I'd drive up! If you're within driving distance, consider this Sunday treat.
