March/April 2010 Feature Team:
Appalachian Hoedowners
The Appalachian Hoedowners call Crockett Virginia home.
Founded in 1995, the group has been growing and changing over
time. They perform to a variety of music including Bluegrass,
Country and Gospel - and you will always find some comedy
during their shows. The Hoedowners are very excited to
introduce three additional teams: Appalachian Tradition,
Appalachian Darlings and
Appalachian Basic. All together there are 32 very energetic
members.

You will find some or all of the “4” Appalachian teams
performing at the Hungry Mother Art & Craft Festival, New River
Valley Fair, Rural Retreat Heritage Day, Bland Fair & Bland Fall
Festival, Pearisburg VA Festival in the Park, Clarke County Fair,
just to name a few.

They are very excited to showcase their talent which they feel
blessed to have received and enjoy sharing with others.
Welcome
Cloggers!
