According to Jennifer, We could see the whole world it seemed like. Everyone was there. . .bluegrass bands, dancers, doggers. . .all helping Watauga county and ASU celebrate Spring. ool weather on long days begins to take its toll on dedicated Watauga residents, his gentleman offers spring wear in the meantime.
