Weaver's RV Park & Campground
Mountain View, MO
Every Friday Evening
The music event began around 1990 and is held at Weaver's RV
Park located between Willow Springs and Mountain View. The
musicians play in a large building that also serves as a flea
market and auction barn. The event began as a "true" jam
session, and evolved into a stage performance format. It
continues to be relatively informal, however, and anyone who
shows up can play.
|
 |
| Music begins at 7 p.m. and ends around 10 p.m. Typically
the event ends with a large jam session on stage. Listeners
often bring food and offer a donation. The current owners
of the park are Gary and Mary Roth.
Directions from Springfield: drive about 95 miles east on US
60; watch for signs for Weaver's RV Park on the left about halfway
between Willow Springs and Mountain View [See
map]. Photographs are from September 15, 2000.
