The Floyd Country Store made it through. The old-time mecca and major draw on The Crooked Road went through some hard times during the pandemic, as did many venues everywhere. In Floyd, though, the store’s Friday Night Jamboree fueled the little downtown’s economy. Venue owners Dylan Locke and Heather Krantz worked to find workarounds, and relied on both livestreaming, donation-based performances and a porch stage out back, where the property abuts a rented guest house, to stage shows. A group calling itself Friends of the Floyd Country Store sparked a crowdfunding campaign last year, raising more than $60,000 by October, according to a post at GoFundMe.com.
