This weekend, we're hosting a local legend, Woody McKenzie, to come down to The Square and present a fiddling demonstration. This program was inspired by a great children's book, Celie and the Harvest Fiddler.
The story is about Celie, an lively and adventurous girl who lives in the South in the 1870s. She plans to win the prize for the best costume at the All Hallow's Eve parade. When she meets a mysterious fiddler, she accepts the African mask he offers her. But is the mask more than it appears? And what is the story behind the fiddler's mysterious song? If you like stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, you'll love this historical thriller, coupled with beautiful oil illustrations.
Woody McKenzie, local musician and college professor, will present a rip-roaring demonstration of traditional Appalachian fiddle music and take questions about from visitors about his music, his instruments, and just about anything else! Guests are invited to bring their own instruments as well and join in the fun!
As always, this program is free with the cost of admission.
