To all OVFF Filk fans:

It is with great regret that the Ohio Valley Filk Festival (OVFF) committee is cancelling the 2020 convention.

The closeness that has always been one of the delights of OVFF also makes it more likely to spread the COVID-19 virus.

As was said at our most recent meeting, "It is not worth one life to hold OVFF." We all agreed. Our venue, the DoubleTree Hotel, also agrees and has released us from our 2020 contract. We are currently negotiating with them for OVFF in 2021.

Our registration team will contact you with your options for any memberships that have already been paid for.

At this time, we are considering holding the convention in a virtual space. If so, we will post it on our website and facebook page and send out an email notification.

The Pegasus Awards for 2020, however, will still be held this year. If you haven't submitted your Nominating Ballot yet, please consider participating!

We are making plans to hold the next OVFF in 2021. We hope to see you all then.

In the meantime, please stay safe.

Sincerely,
The OVFF Convention Committee
