vg NOTES (2026-06-12):  
--Molto Thanks to John Bleich for recording & sharing this Stir Fried 2007 show & to SIRMick for the transfer, mastering & sharing of it out to the masses for us all to enjoy.  Absolutely Appreciated!!  
--the "2nd Annual A Bears Picnic" took place Thursday, July 19 thru Sunday, July 22, 2007 (I believe officially is was July 20-22, but the 19th was an 'extra, early bird day' or the like)
--artists who played "2nd Annual A Bears Picnic" (in no particular order):  
--------Friday, 2007-07-20:  Juggling Suns;  Railroad Earth
--------Saturday, 2007-07-21:  Donna Jean & the Tricksters;  David Gans & Friends;  Splintered Sunlight;  New Riders Of the Purple Sage (1st of 2 nights);  
--------Sunday, 2007-07-22:  Stir Fried;  New Riders Of the Purple Sage (2nd of 2 nights);  
--other artists who played at the "2nd Annual A Bears Picnic Family Reunion" (not known which day these cats played, though it is known that they were there):  Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet;  Cabinet;  Willie Jack & the Northern Light;  Lumpy Gravy;  the Lumber Truck;  Dakini;  Backwoods Experiment;  the Kind Buds...anyone out there who knows when these cats played at the fest &/or has a schedule &/or knows of other artists who played the fest, won't you please chime in & let us all know??   
--I added more detail to the band members info...no idea who 'Weezy' is (more than likely someone from another band playing that day...if anyone out there can identify this person, please chime in & let us all know)
--corrected some tunes to the way the appear on the original albums & discovered a few more in there & listed those as well...any cover tune titles defer to how Stir Fried listed them on any albums they had them on, etc.  
--added more detail to the setlist info & venue info
--festival also known as "A Bear's Picnic";  "Bears Picnic";  "A Bear's Picnic Family Reunion";  "Bear's Picnic";  "A Bears Picnic";  "Bears Picnic Family Reunion";  "Bear's Picnic Family Reunion"
--apparently, "Friendship Park" was a name created for this event & is definitely not the actual name of this location--this made it very, very hard to discover where this truly was, but I persevered thru it & with tenacity & much cross-referencing searches, I finally discovered where this went down:  actual location for this festival was the Central Oak Heights grounds, a Christian community & event park located at 75 Heritage Road, West Milton, PA
