Bluegrass Festival marks silver anniversary
From The Wickenburg (AZ) Sun
This weekend's Four Corner States Bluegrass Festival will mark its 25th anniversary in Wickenburg.
Sponsored by the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce, the three-day festival Friday through Sunday (Nov. 12-14) is one of the oldest in the Southwest.
Chairman Mike Wallace, returning for his eighth year, said he and his crew are "ready to go" and expect this year's event to draw the biggest crowds ever.
"We expect record crowds on a daily basis," he said. "At least a couple thousand people. Most of our competitive events are sold out."
The festival will be headlined by three host bands during its three-day run, led off by one of the most popular bands to appear here over the years -- The Bluegrass Patriots of Ft. Collins, Colo.
Wallace said the Patriots have been one of the Bluegrass Festival's biggest supporters over its 25-year history and are one of the top hammer-type and tight harmony groups going.
