The Folk Calendar is compiled by me for WPSU, Penn State's local
public radio station.  The calendar is read on the air during
WPSU's Folk Show, which airs at the following times:

     Saturday  6AM-11AM
     Sunday    8AM-11AM

Where possible, I've included a phone number you may call for more
information on each event.

If you have information you'd like included in the calendar, send
it to me at lrl@psuvm.psu.edu or lrl@psuvm.bitnet.
