Howdy to all,

News for winter:. 

News update: We will not be playing at Damascus General Store tonight, February 5th because of the weather! We are definitely snowed in up here in the Whitetop area ! Hopefully we will see you next Friday night!

We will be doing "Crooked Road" East Coast tour during the month of April, 2010.  Sammy Shelor, Elizabeth LaPrelle, Wayne Henderson, Eddie Bond, Kirk Sutphin and No Speed Limit will again be again be our tour-mates! The tour is sponsored by the National Council for the Traditional Arts.

Mt. Rogers School in our community will be closing in coming months when we combine with Bridle Creek School to become Grayson Highlands School. We have formed  an organization to create the Whitetop Folklife Center in the Mt. Rogers School building if all goes well. We'll keep you posted, as this will be a performance and teaching center. The Albert Hash Festival will continue there, as well as other festivals, shows and dances if things develop as we hope.

The Albert Hash Festival was the best ever this year!  Thanks to all who worked, played, participated and attended. We are looking forward to next year's festival!!!
