I've received word about LumberJam III, which is at a new venue for 2006.

Last year, the event took place on a farm in Nottingham Township, a fun weekend featuring numerous Pittsburgh-area bands. With the popularity increasing, the organizers decided to shoot for larger accommodations this year: Sunshine Daydream Music Park in Terra Alta, W.Va. It's scheduled for the weekend of July 21-23.

Keep posted for more information as I receive it.
