Hard to believe it's over! The music was great, the weather was perfect, and the crowds the biggest we've seen yet. Reports from both the fans and bands have been glowing. Even "Bessie" cooperated in record time! It was a fabulous weekend.

The firemen truly appreciate the support of all the bluegrass fans who attended. Big thanks also go to all the volunteers who make this a special event. Hey, maybe we'll have to do this again next year!

+ Blue Moon Rising - Super national touring band from Tennessee!
+ Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers - Award-winning banjo player and great band from Ohio!
+ Remington Ryde - Entertaining traditional band from central Pennsylvania!
+ Lonesome Highway - Great band from West Virginia, back again!
+ Northwest Territory - This fine Ohio band is always a hit with our fans!
+ Mountain Therapy - Good to have this solid band back with us!
+ Allegheny Drifters - Great vocals and pickin' from these local favorites!
+ Mon River Ramblers - Hot young band from Pittsburgh, made their debut with us last year!

Our ol' buddy John Trout from WYEP-FM's "Traditional Ties" show and Ligonier's Jeff Bell once again served as emcees, both keeping the show on schedule and adding that "certain something" to the festivities. (Whatever that may be.) First class sound was provided by Don, Ginger, and Steve of Soaring Eagle Productions, Bedford, PA. (We get tons of compliments on the great sound from both the fans and performers.)

Just a reminder... the festival benefits the Ligonier Township Volunteer Fire Department, Station #44. Their hard work, coupled with your support for them and the music, makes this a "win-win" for everybody. They deeply appreciate your attendance and your spreading the word about the festival.

The goal all along is to make this an affordable, wholesome, family festival that features the best in bluegrass music. Please explore the rest of this Web site for more info, schedules, directions, etc., and check back for the latest updates. Also, please support our sponsors who help make this possible.
