This year the event will be held on Friday, October 7, 2022 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Poplar Springs Elementary School in King, NC. We are so excited to announce that the award winning Lonesome River Band will be our headlining act, with None of the Above (NOTA) kicking off the show. Bring your dancing shoes!

You can look forward to not only some great foot stomping bluegrass, but good food and great entertainment, including our “World Famous” Silent Auction, Dessert Silent Auction, Heads and Tails Game, Slop Bucket Bidding and Pig Pen Raffle. Food will be served from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and features delicious barbecue from Dennis Ruff.
