A Bluegrass Journey to Cassia ~ OCOEE PARKING LOT BLUEGRASS JAM 

720P-HD A Bluegrass Journey to Cassia
MY GOODNESS, WHAT A BLUEGRASS TREASURE OFF THE BEATEN PATH!
This is not the usual Ocoee Parking Lot Bluegrass Friday night jam video. I decided to make the 30-mile hop to the rural community of Cassia in Lake County, Florida for a jam of a different sort - and boy was it worth the ride! I found some fine bluegrass musicians, some of whom also grace the Ocoee Parking Lot Bluegrass Jam on Friday nights.
This is a well run open Jam spirited by super bluegrass lover, Julie Champion, at the Cassia Community Club, 29245 State Road-44, Eustis, FL 32736-8113. Cassia is located halfway between Eustis and Deland on SR 44.
• Bluegrass, Blues, & Go...

Open Bluegrass Jams are a 25-year tradition at the Cassia Community Club; this 100% All-Bluegrass Jam is held the 3rd Saturday of every month in the clubhouse, beginning at 6 p.m.
On the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, pickers gather in the 3 pavilions and under the oaks and pines during Music-in-Cassia programs, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Inside, bands play bluegrass, gospel, country, and favorite tunes on stage. Volunteers have supper and refreshments, during all programs, available in the clubhouse kitchen. Dancing to the music is encouraged. There's a good wooden floor in front of the stage inside the clubhouse.
The public is invited to these free, family-oriented events. Musicians of all ages and skill-levels are welcome to join the jamming circles. The club has drawn many talented musicians locally and nationally. (Julia Champion)
