Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Wouldn't it be cool to invent a time machine and be able to just go wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted...literally, when-ever you wanted?
Well, I can't quite promise you that much freedom of choice where and when to go, but I can offer you a trip back in time to a pretty interesting place I've taken students to before which we all really enjoyed. It's a trip back in time to the early to mid-1900's here in the Appalachian Mountains where bluegrass and gospel music came of age and people from all over came together to have a good 'ole time flatfoot dancing. It's a veritable cultural experience that takes place every Friday night in Floyd, VA, just 45 minutes from Blacksburg, in The Floyd Country Store which is 100 years old this year! It's hard to describe just how much fun you are going to have if you go, but almost everybody that does always ends up pleasantly surprised how much fun they end up having regardless of how they felt about bluegrass music before they went. You just can't help but smile within minutes of walking in the door, and after that it's pretty near impossible to wipe the grin off your face, although I don't know why you would want to.
If you're ready to join us on this adventure, meet at the campus house at 5pm this Friday. We will carpool to the quaint little town of Floyd, VA and get to the Country Store early so we can get some great seats and enjoy some delicious dessert before the concert. They have all kinds of ice cream, milk shakes, pies, cakes, and other desserts, and old fashioned candy to buy. (You'll need to eat supper on your own before meeting at the campus house, though. They have a lunch menu, but I'm not sure if those sandwiches are available on Friday nights.) Tickets for the Jamboree (concert) are just $4.
So that's 5:00pm Friday at the campus house. Eat supper before you come, but save room for dessert. And bring $4 for admission.
I really hope you can join us. It'll be an experience you won't soon forget. We'll have a "toe tappin' good time".
