Adding a extra level of festivity, the Sandy Tar Brothers, an Ohio-based old time bluegrass band will be playing from 9-11:30 a.m. These talented and highly sought-after musicians are currently on tour but are taking time out to play in Fayette County this weekend. Adults and children of all ages are sure to enjoy the sounds of banjo, mandolin, guitar, upright washtub bass and vocals. Get ready to simply listen, tap your feet, snap your fingers, or kick up your heels in the walkway. Whatever your style, don’t miss this special, and FREE event.
