Did Somebody Mention Bluegrass?
The CVB is busy preparing for our 6th annual Pickin' in the Panhandle, which is less than 60 days away! This year, Pickin' will be bigger and better than ever with 31 bluegrass and country bands on three stages, the KCBS WV State BBQ Championship, a backyard BBQ cook-off, bluegrass band competition, arts and crafts, Kids Korner, beer garden, camping, and more!
Our lineup includes some great local and regional talent, as well as some nationally touring acts like The Crowe Brothers, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Cumberland River, Shane Thomas, Kentucky HeadHunters, Lonesome River Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Colt Prather (... and we're told that Colt will be bringing a special surprise guest to join him on stage!)
Weekend tickets are $60 or $25 for a one day pass. As always, children ages 12 and under are admitted free!
We still have some space left in our BBQ competitions (both pro and backyard) and in our Arts & Crafts Barn. Visit our website - www.PanhandlePickin.com for more information.
In addition to being our county's largest tourism event, Pickin' in the Panhandle also helps many local nonprofit organizations, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Eastern Panhandle and the Back Creek Valley Volunteer Fire Company. |
