AUGUSTA FESTIVAL Since Becoming a part of Davis and Elkins two years ago, the Augusta Heritage arts workshop has achieved national recognition in it’s efforts to preserve the traditional Appala- chian arts. Each summer, ‘augusta’ offers dozens of intensive classes in traditional crafts, music, dance, and folklore, at- tracting participants from throughout the country. In addi- tion, the workshop sponsors concerts, square dances, spe- cial exhibits and presentations, and the three day Augusta Festival, a whirlwind celebration of mountain arts and life.
