New River Jam Cullowhee two take canoe first Ed Mcginnisand Sam Fowlkes, both of Cullowhee, took first place in their class of the Southeast If you like handmade music ana God-made scenery, you will want to make plans to join the trek up along the New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains where Virginia meets North Carolina for the New River Jam July 23 to 25. In all of the controversy over this oldest river in North America and the efforts at conservation o all its values, there has been toe little discussion of preserving its traditional sounds, that of dulcimers and Dobros, mandolins and fiddles, flatfoot dancing and clog. This is the hart of the area that bred "the American sound", the most distinctly American music ever produced. This is the rough-hewn music by which the cradles were rocked and the spinning wheels turned in the days of George Washington. Men like Davey Crockett are said to have carried a rifle in one hand, but an old time fiddle in the other. The down-home friendly feeling of Bluegrass is a part of the American disposition. The New River Jam is inviting families and groups to spend a weekend camping on 250 acres of mountain woodlands and meadows, with their miles of clear mountain streams to play in, where Crooked Creek meets the Regionals held last weekend on the Nantahala River. According to Roger Roundtree of Cullowhee Wilderness Outfitters, the regionals are the biggest canoe event of the year in the Southeast, and they attract New River between Galax and competitors from all over the Hillsville. United States. Mcginnis and Fowlkes took first place in the C-2 mens open class, which had 34 entrants.

A stage and simple shelters are being erected to care for the crowds in the lush pastures where cows stand knee-deep in grass and possums romp and stomp under the elderberry bushes. The cool mountain air makes such contraptions as air-conditioning systems obsolete.
