Folk group seeks spinoff and Cajunfest plan
The Down East Folk Arts Association will hold a 9 a.m. Saturday meeting at the Trent River Coffee Co in New Bern to form a New Bern Folk Arts Society. A Friday Cajun band Unknown Tongues from Gloucester plays at 8 p.m. at the same venue, as part of the coordination with the split. Judi Orbach of Pine Knoll Shores said growth has made dual management hard and the board favors two groups with New Bern forming its own society with help if needed.
