The leaves begin to change color, the temperature cools and our Saturdays are filled with the sounds and sights of football. Here at Western, we have become familiar with another fall tradition, Mountain Heritage Day. This Saturday, September 30, Western Carolina University will host the 21st annual Mountain Heritage Day. This event has drawn over 35,000 people to our campus in the past. Don Wood, the Coordinator of Mountain Heritage Day, says, "It is the biggest event you'll ever see happen on this campus." Mountain Heritage Day has been selected as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast and one of America's top 200 craft shows. Mountain Heritage Day is a festival celebrating the heritage of mountain living. There is traditional music and dance for people to enjoy and overwhelming amounts of arts and crafts booths. Mountain storytelling and old-time country cookin' are also Mountain Heritage Day favorites. Suzanne McDowell of the Mountain Heritage Center says, "Something special about Mountain Heritage Day is that some of the people out there are N.C. Folk Heritage or N.C. Folk Life award winners." Don Wood said the festival actually began when H.F. Robinson came to Western in the fall of 1974. "He wanted to start a festival celebrating mountain living. In 1975, Western hosted Founder's Day," which later became today's Mountain Heritage Day." This is also the first year Doug Davis has not run the festival. He was the coordinator for the first 20 festivals. Wood said, "We didn't change much about this year's Mountain Heritage Day. Davis certainly set the standard; we can only hope that this year's festival will be as good." Wood also says that Mountain Heritage Day is as much fun for the students as it is for the visiting crowds. "Just go out there and I'll promise you'll be amazed." One of the highlights of this year's festival is the music of Jim Shumate, who was the first fiddler with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs as well as Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys. The pottery of Charlotte Bigmeat's daughter, Cherokee's Louise Bigmeat Maney, will be on display. The clogging of Rough Creek and Billie Bob and the Billie Bob Peewees should entertain the crowds thoroughly. Suzanne McDowell says, "We should have plenty of sunshine which obviously makes Mountain Heritage Day even more pleasant." In case of rain, the festivities will be moved to the Ramsey Center. Mountain Heritage Day begins about 9:30 a.m. and ends with the 4:30 p.m. football game between WCU and Furman. There is no charge for admission, but close parking will be scarce. So go out and enjoy Mountain Heritage Day. You'll go home feeling like you have visited the mountains hundreds of years ago. Details and schedule of events
