If you'd like to buy tickets to any of the shows at the National Heritage Museum, they are now available to order through the BBU website. For Joe Val tickets, there is a different set of rules. Ticket sales & hotel reservations will begin on Tuesday, November 27th for current BBU members, and on Tuesday, December 4th for non-members. Word to the wise: if you're really interested in booking a room at the Sheraton, you need to be a BBU member and get registered early. For your convenience, you can join or renew your BBU membership through the BBU website.

Sounds like there will be some great BG in the area this winter....
