i M S l g fffjljslg X!! J. A Da of Mountain Heritage s the leaves began to turn and fall came to Mars Hill, the college hosted the annual Bascom Lamar Lunsford Festival. It was a celebration of the Appalachian way of life. Its main focus was on mountain music, dance, and crafts. This year a concert was given that centered on the music of the Appa- lachian dulcimer. It dates back to the Scotch- Irish settlement in the area. It is played by plucking the strings. The concert featured Don Pedi, Katie Cunningham, and Marilyn McMirn-McCredie. The thing that im- pressed me the most was how relaxing the music was, said judy Smith. Saturday morning was the craft festival. Booths and demonstrations were set up all across the quad. The demonstrations includ- ed blacksmithing, quilting, weaving, candle- making and soapmaking. Workshops on fid- dle, banjo, and Appalachian dulcimer were also offered. As always there were plenty of home baked goodies. The festivities culminated in the Minstrel of the Appalachiansn concert in Moore Audito- rium. This included everything from Mars I-Iill's own Bailey Mountain Cloggers to Doc Snodderlys Painless String Band. It was an evening of enjoyment as the performers blended their styles to present a unique and totally Appalachian experience. lj -jim Parks As part ofthe Lunsford Festival, the college clogging team, The Bailey Mountain Cloggers, performs two of their rou- tines. Peggy Ctilly, a senior elementary education major, and Walter Ruff, a senior history major, learn how soap used to be made. lf' Student Life: Lunsford Festival
