MerleFest, presented by Window World, concluded its annual spring homecoming this weekend with a larger-than-life ‘Traditional Plus’ celebration, drawing both seasoned attendees and newcomers to the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, NC. The four-day gathering––inspired by the vision of festival founder and North Carolina native Doc Watson––is the biggest economic driver of scholarships, capital projects, and educational needs within the greater community.
Festivals and celebrations, including the National Cornbread Festival, Chattanooga Seafood Bash on the River and the Sweet Tea and Sunshine Family Festival, abound this weekend.
