The Charlotte Folk Society's 4th Annual Old-Time Music Jam and Ice Cream Social will take place on Sunday, July 12, 2009, 1 - 4 PM. This year's host site is Historic Rosedale Plantation, located at 3427 North Tryon Street, near the intersection with Sugar Creek Road, in Charlotte. Co-sponsors are Historic Rosedale Plantation and the Storytellers Guild of Charlotte.

Historic Rosedale was built in 1815 and is one of the finest examples of Federal period architecture in North Carolina. House tours will be available, approximately every 30 minutes, from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. Special tour pricing is offered during this event: two adult admissions for $5.

What a perfect combination local history and cultural traditions of music, dance, and storytelling! Be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket with you. And bring an instrument, if you play. Listeners are always welcomed!

For more information, visit Rosedale's website. In the case of rain, this event will be canceled. Call Wanda Hubicki at 704-563-7080 with questions.

This project is made possible, in part, with funding from the Arts & Science Council and the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

Support is also provided by Foskoskies Neighborhood Cafe 2121 Shamrock Drive, in east Charlotte.
