The Happy Valley Jamboree
Every Labor Day weekend I serve as the director of the Happy Valley Jamboree (Nee Happy Valley Fiddlers Convention). The little festival in Caldwell County by the side of the Yadkin River brings in musicians and music lovers from near and far. The regional heritage-focused event is free to attend and features camping, jams, light-hearted competitions, workshops, a parade, and cash (and CAKE) prizes.
