Mountain Heritage Day Festival celebrates its 30th year by Jessica Jarrard The 30th Annual Mountain Heritage Day was held on campus Saturday, September 25. It was the main event of a weekend filled with mountain heritage. Sam Bush and other bluegrass artist played at the Ramsey Cen- ter the night before setting the mood for the weekend. Also, the Mountain Heritage Day museum was open to the public with special displays for those interested. Each year Mountain Heritage Day brings history and heritage of the mountains to both the community and students of WCU. As al- ways, it was a fun day filled with music, arts and crafts, and of course, lots of food! Each year, crafters from around the area set up tables and booths to sell their handmade crafts. This year was no exception. Tables were set up by basket weavers, potters, stone and wood carvers, and even blacksmiths. There was even a booth selling old antique cookware, some of which was hand made. Displays and simulations of trades like blacksmithing, basket weaving, doll making, and saw sharpening gathered crowds around their tables. Here, you could ask questions about each trade or craft, and in some cases, try it out yourself. No Mountain Heritage Day is complete without music! Bluegrass bands were in abun- dance, as there was a band on both stages WCnewsmagazine throughout the day. Many of the bands were local. Along with the music came some tra- ditional dancing. Clogging displays tapped across the stage around midday. Even sports fans were accommodated in the festivities. Two games of traditional Cher- okee Stickball were played at 11 p.m. and 1 p.m. Other competitions included Mens Horseshoes. As always, the antique auto show attracted a crowd. Sorority had a bake sale. Each year, a Mountain Heritage Day award is given to a citizen who has contributed greatly to these mountains. This years recipi- ent was Walker Calhoun, a Cherokee elder. He received this award in honor of all he has done to pass on the Cherokee tribes tradi- tional songs and sacred ceremonies to future Students were also involved. Fraternities : and sororities set up booths as fundraisers for | their organizations. Tau Kappa Epsilon Fra- ternity roasted corn and made chili to sell. A | portion of the money they made went to help | the flood victims in the area. Alpha Chi Omega | 9 RS generations. Chancellor Bardo presented Cal- | houn his award in the noon ceremony. The 30th Annual Mountain Heritage Day : was well attended and proved to be a huge success. Members of the Wolftown Stickball Team of Cherokee provided demon- strations of the traditional Cherokee game of stickball before enthusiastic crowds at Western Carolina Univer- sitys Mountain Heritage Day. The game is considered to be a forerun- ner of the modern game of lacrosse.
