Festival Comments

So many people have contacted us after they returned home from the festival. We would like to share some of their comments with you

I have been to a number of music festivals of all types, and I can honestly say that the musicianship, atmosphere, warm feelings and beautiful setting combined to make it the best that I have attended. I am in awe of the amount of blood, sweat and probably tears that all of you put into pulling this off.

Thank you for the opportunity to visit your farm, the event and the grounds and the weather was all perfect. The music was great and we are very happy that we made the trip and we hope that you will be able to make it an annual event.

Everything about your festival was wonderful! The Shepherd grandchildren saying the Pledge of Allegiance was very touching and just set the tone for the day. We loved your stage set, and all the performers. I especially loved the way you made the audience feel as though we were in "the basement" or "the garage" watching you all have fun.

I just returned home tonight with wonderful memories of time I spent at your farm and the unbelievabletalent presented for your first "Carolina In The Fall" festival. Congratulations! It was a smashing success!! I just wanted to thank you and your entire staff who did a superb job in making this a wonderful event. I know it was a lot of hard work but know in your hearts and minds, you brought a lot of joy to a lot of people with your efforts.

Just wanted to say that we came up from Greenwood, SC to the "BEST" Bluegrass Festival we have ever been to, and that includes the Big Festivals. Congratulations to you on your first one, and hope there many more to come. Everything was perfect, and the hospatality made us feel like a part of the festival.

Thanks so much for such a wonderful festival. Can't wait until next year. It was great to see so many talented musicians and hard working volunteers. It was a pleasure to be there in a comfortable, family setting with my family. Can't wait until next year.

I want to tell you too how wonderful it was to be there. Of course, the music was fantastic. . . the sound system superb and the atmosphere was a joy to experience. Thank you for all of the work you did to provide us all with a wonderful weekend of music and fellowship.

We had a wonderful time this past weekend. I can't imagine having even my own family at my place for 2 days, let alone a festival... The Kruger Brothers (and Maynard) have made quite an impression on our oldest child. Please tell everyone who helped make the event possible how much we appreciated their hard work and friendly smiles. See you next year.

I just wanted to tell you how well-done everything seemed, and to tell you, "Thank you", for a job well done, and for making NC the Krugers' home through your hospitality and generosity.

Jo Ann and I had a wonderful weekend. We already knew what we think of the Kruger Brothers, but now we almost feel like family with the Shepherds. We are so much looking forward to next year and another 'Carolina In The Fall'. Thanks again.
