Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival

Last night, after our Mid-Week Prayer Service, my wife and I attended the Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival, an annual happening at the Rural Events Center, which is across from Greene County High School.

Wednesday Night was Gospel Night. Admission was free. All of the music was gospel bluegrass. A local pastor is always invited to preach.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Buddy and Tina Wright Group. The ensemble is a mom, dad, and their two teenage children. They are incredibly talented at playing twin fiddles. Also, Buddy has a very unique voice for a young man. All of their songs were hymns, except for their finale rendition of Orange Blossom Special.

The Festival is splendidly organized and folks come from 20 states to attend. In talking with some of our members out there, they told us about a couple that comes from Connecticut each year and parks there RV here for the week. Currently, there are 217 Camper Trailers on the grounds of the Rural Events Center. That's amazing to me.

If you want to take a road trip in the next few days, the Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival is a great destination.
