FarmFest at Farmington Dragway




A BIG, BIG Thank You to everyone who joined us over the weekend to kick off the outdoor festival season with FarmFest at Farmington Dragway. Friday evening we enjoyed two great performances by Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain. We also had several talented folks join in on Open Mic. Saturday the day got underway with J A M-Junior Appalachian Musicians. Clog Carolina danced for us after that. The Snyder Family Band impressed the crowd with their abilities, too. Afternoon sets by the Kenny & Amanda Smith Band, Lou Reid & Carolina, Steep Canyon Rangers and Cadillac Sky filled the air with top-of-the-line Bluegrass Music. The bands did evenings sets, too. Terry Baucom's Super Jam was a highlight for many as Lou Reid, Wes Golding, Josh Williams, Mike Hartgove, Tim Smith, Kenny & Amanda Smith and myself joined Terry on stage for an hour long set. We had a blast! Hopefully everyone will make plans to join us next year on the second weekend in April 2009 for the 2nd Annual FarmFest at Farmington Dragway, Farmington, NC. We will be updating the website shortly: http://www.farmfestnc.com/ and give more details about next year, as well as, display photos and video of this year's event!~CB

FarmFest at Farmington Dragway in two weeks!


Since last July, I have been hard at work on a new Bluegrass Festival in North Carolina: FarmFest at Farmington Dragway. I have been meeting with our wonderful committee: Don, Jonny and Brian (The owners of Farmington Dragway) and Patti Ann Lynch (PAL Marketing, Inc.) The festival is April 11 and 12. We are excited with the talented Bluegrass Bands coming to entertain: Steep Canyon Rangers, Cadillac Sky, Lou Reid & Carolina, Terry Baucom's Super Jam, Kenny & Amanda Smith Band and Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain. We will also have 2 groups of young people performing: JAM-Junior Appalachian Musicians and the Snyder Family Band. Two clogging teams will entertain between bands on Saturday, April 12th: Clog Carolina and the South Fork Cloggers. In addition to the music, there will be food, crafts, classic cars, vintage farm equipment, a children's area and camping. We are praying for great weather and an awesome time in Farmington, NC April 11 and 12!
