The Second Annual Mayhaw Music Festival (and 5k) was a success!  

The festival expanded this year to include a Bluegrass Day Camp on Friday with professional bluegrass instructors Michael Prewitt, Aaron Bibelhauser, Steve Cooley, Laura Orshaw, and Josh Rinkle. Day campers had the opportunity to pick with pros in a laid back setting. Speaking of campers, several folks stayed for the weekend and camped in the pines, and we hope more folks will camp in the years to come.

This year we added a Varsity X Country event followed by an Open 5k, all of which occurred in the morning before the music started at noon.  Eight high schools participated in the X Country meet and 50+ individuals from 7 to 70 years old participated in the Open 5k.  

The bands kicked off at noon, led by Dothan-band Pontiac Stove Company.  Seven professional touring bands followed and played 60-min sets until 9 pm.  Junior Sisk wrapped up the day with a wonderful set.  He followed First Far West, Thomas Cassell & Nick Fallon Weitzenfeld, Brenna MacMillan, Bibelhauser Brothers, Michael Prewitt & Crunchgrass Supreme, and Stillhouse Junkies.  About 150 people attended the music festival, including several who camped in the pines.  We're already looking forward to next year!
