14th Annual Pickin' on the Plains
Bluegrass and Folk Festival
Colby, Kansas July 17-19, 2009

It wasn't your imagination. 2009 was the coolest we've had for Pickin' on the Plains! The temperatures shown below are from the nearest official reporting station (Goodland, 30 miles west of Colby). But even when the temperature is high, it's comfortable at the festival. We provide 4,800 square feet of shade despite Mother Nature's attempts to prevent it. When appropriate, we even cool the air with mist.
