It was an exciting time for folklorists, ethnomusicologists, and cultural advocates of all kinds.
Florida Folklore Society is pleased to have Peggy Bulger as a member and mentor!
In the fall of 1976, young folklorist Peggy Bulger moved to Florida. She landed in a small town in the northern part of the state, White Springs, which is home to the Stephen Foster Center and the annual Florida Folklife Festival. Her position was funded by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, and the expectation was that she would conduct a survey of folk artists throughout the entire state of Florida.
