Sept. 25th, - 27th, 2009
Join us for our 5th annual music festival located on a 33 acre private farm in northeastern North Carolina. 2008 was a challenge but worth the effort. We added many new things last year. One was our songwriters contest. We had several contestants. All who entered songs were very talented. Some Assembly Required's very own Leo won the prize package for his song "Just Like Candy". We also had two workshops offered on Saturday morning. Mitch Barrett was here for a storytelling time but didn't have any takers. We did notice that later on after Mitch's show there were tall tales being told around campfires; so some did learn a few things. Lynn & Leo from Some Assembly Required offered a vocal workshop that did have a few participants. Their wonderful harmonies prove that they know what they are talking about when it comes to vocals. Check out their new album on their website too. For you first timers there is ample room for tent camping or you may bring your camper. You may camp in the group area or you may venture out on your own. Come prepared to camp for the weekend, bringing any essentials you will personally need. There will be food vendors this year, however, there are a few grills on site or you may bring your own. There are no electric or water hookups available. This is rustic style camping. Cowboy style, however we do offer port-a- potties. We recommend that you bring your own personal water. Camping is on a first come first serve basis. We offer a covered stage for the musicians. The music runs from Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. There will be no open stage hours this year.
