2008
2008 was our first year at this event. We weren't sure what to expect but it turned out to be great fun. Our idea of bluegrass is shaped by our favorite movie O Brother, Where Are Thou? We were overjoyed to hear Ralph Stanley and His Clinch Mountain Boys playing at least two of their hits from the movie soundtrack. And there was some great barbecue to eat. Good food, music and kettle korn. What more could you ask for?
