Lies and Pies -
A Festival of Fun on Stage

Creating a fun “festival” yarn stretching on the stage. Reviving a decade-old tradition of yarn-spinning, tall tale-telling, and big fib-stretching, where music sets the tone. From the liar’s bench at the hardware store to the possum drop. Sink your teeth into a slice of home-cooked humor. Add a homemade pie as a tasty treat and let the good times roll! Come join the fun!

Evening of Appalachian Tales

Grab a seat, sit a spell, and enjoy the view for an evening of mountain music, story, dancing and more. From moonshine to mountain laurel, trails to turnpikes, drum beat to banjos, Cherokee to shamrocks, Chunky Gal and Hanging Dog to Brasstown Bald and back again, you’ll enjoy the magic. Young and old storytellers, writers, poets, and singer / songwriters take the stage!
