Well, so much for the Apple Festival...
... that Wilkes county has every year. Due to the unusually cold weather we have had - it went down to 20 degrees two nights in a row - nearly all of the apple crop at the local orchards have been wiped out. This is a nasty shock for the industry, and consequently for the local economy. Apparently we will have to go outside the area and buy apples for the great Apple Festival.
Thank goodness we can look forward to the Merlefest dropping nearly $20 million in Wilkes at the end of the month.

So...when is Merlefest?
FYI, Merlefest is covered really well on Bluegrass Junction on XM.

Merlefest starts mid-afternoon on 4/26 and finishes around 6:30 pm on 4/29. They have a Website you can check out. I'll be gone that weekend, but Scott will be in town.
