At the The Malpass Brothers Bluegrass & Country Festival

 73º here near Denton, NC at 12 Noon Wednesday.  Bright sunshine with 77º predicted high for the day.

Want to show the size of the crowd/tent

at Little Roy & Lizzy's Music Festival near Lincolnton, GA last week.

I am guessing that over 800 people were in attendance there.  Many camped, and many drove in for each day's performance.

One day before the Festival started there, we drove some 40 miles south of Lincolnton to Harlem, GA where Oliver Hardy, of Laurel & Hardy fame, was born and there is a small museum there which is in a former theater and combined with museum about the city of Harlem along with their welcome center.

On Sunday we ate lunch at At Glory House Café in

Lincolnton, GA after packing up at the grounds of the Festival and then drove to Greenwood Lake State Park near Greenwood, South Carolina where we spent Sunday night.  Monday we drove the 160 miles or so on to Denton Farmpark where we are now some 5 miles from Denton, North Carolina.

This place has a big building with permanent benches in it.  We staked out our place on about the 7th row near center aisle with blankets when we got here.  Many had already put cushions or blankets out.

Tonight we go to a BBQ supper and then 3 days of music.  Here are the three days schedules:

More later, Lynn
