With festival season largely wrapped up for the year, it’s time to put away the tents and get the campers ready for winter storage. And while we won’t be picking around campsites, BMAM’s indoor jams offer a great way to keep meeting up with friends and fellow pickers throughout the fall, winter and early spring.<\/p>\n
BMAM hosts three jams on a monthly basis: The Eastern Jam in Brewer, the Farmington Jam, and the Southern Jam in Yarmouth.<\/p>\n
