Love of bluegrass drives couple's work on festival
From the Lebanon (MO) Daily Record
Don and Bobbie Day love bluegrass music.
The Conway couple felt there was a need for a venue for other bluegrass lovers to play, sing and listen to the cries of a mandolin or the melody of a fiddle in the area.
Nineteen years later, that thought has grown into the Starvy Creek Bluegrass Park, which plays host to about 6,000 people twice a year. It also has led to the Days and Starvy Creek being awarded the Society for Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America Midwest Promoter of the Year -- more than once.
Starvy Creek will hold its 13th annual fall festival Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a dozen bluegrass headliners, featuring Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, Gary Ferguson, Bill Clifton, The Drifters and The Gibson Brothers.
