A Mandolin Festival will be held by the Patrick County Music Association (PCMA) on Saturday, February 24.
The event will be held at the Rotary Building in Stuart. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the music will start at 6 p.m.
PCMA President Denny Alley said Ralph McGee and the Goodfellers will headline the show.
Rex Smith, Ronald Inscore, Charlie Chaney, David H. Helms, Vince Bullins, Nick Schmick, and others will also take the stage.
Like in the January show, Chaney’s music students will perform during “Charlie’s Corner” at the start of the show.
Alley said Ralph McGee and the Goodfellers have had two or three number one songs on the Bluegrass Charts over the last two years.
“They’re a really good group, multi-award-winning musicians,” Alley said, and added that McGee won the Galax Fiddlers Convention numerous times.
The March show will have Lynn Foddrell with the Piedmont Blues as the headlining act.
Even though it was raining, Alley said the January show was well attended with about 100 people in attendance.Â
“You just can’t beat eight inches of rain,” he said.
Based on information gathered at the show, Alley said more attendees were from outside Patrick County than county residents.
Admission is a $5 donation at the door. Prizes will be awarded throughout the night.Â
Concessions will be available for purchase from the Patrick County Shooting Education Team, with proceeds going to teach children in the area firearm safety.
