The Huntsville Times reports on Panoply kicking off today in Huntsville. If you have never been, this is a really fun event for the whole family.

Funky blues bands, toe-tapping fiddlers, avant garde artists, creative crafters, wild storytellers and puppets are set to entertain the entire family.

Now in its 29th year, Panoply 2010, presented by the Arts Council, opens Friday at 5 p.m. and runs through Sunday. Admission is $5 per day or $10 for a weekend Panopass. Children under 12 are free.
