From an original stage that was formed from the roof of an old porch that was jacked up with poles for support, Doc served as the first Emcee, welcoming eight bands to the competition while professional musician George Pegram was hired to entertain the crowds during slack times. That first convention awarded $1,000 in prize money, leading to a rich history that to this date has led to over $560,000 being awarded in scholarships over the years.
Held in Ashe County Park, which was originally purchased by eight Rotarians with a vision far beyond anyone’s expectations, the current stage was also built by those same Rotarians in a natural amphitheatre surrounded by these lovely old mountains.
