Special Bluegrass Information   Central Ohio Bluegrass Association - COBA The Central Ohio Bluegrass Association (COBA) formed in the Columbus Ohio area in 1976 and was later chartered as a non-profit organization. The goal of the club--originally, to promote and preserve Bluegrass in the central Ohio area--has now expanded to include all of Ohio. COBA currently holds monthly meetings in the Sunbury, Ohio area. We also have 2 Bluegrass festivals a year: one in July and one in October. A monthly newsletter is mailed to all members. All of this is supported by membership and donations from those who care about bluegrass music in Ohio.
