Folk Festival takes Hailey by storm

On washboard, Lloyd Meadows of the band Zydeco Flames kept his Cheshire cat grin beaming all weekend during the 26th Annual Northern Rockies Folk Festival in Hailey. Despite a relentless rain Saturday, there were 2,400 folks in attendance enjoying the great bands. “It was a great event and we’re already planning for next year’s show,” Festival Director Kit Neraas said.
