McDuffie and the Myers family have continued to per
form. They have a new album out entitled “Where the

Folklife in Georgia

The ninth-annual Folklife in Georgia Festival, which celebrates
traditional music, dance and handiwork of rural Georgia, will be held
from 1 to 9 p.m., Saturday, April 4, at Madison County Memorial
Park in Danielsville.
The day-long event, which will be held rain or shine, will include
a collection for the Madison County Food Bank.
Twenty visual artists will demonstrate and sell their traditional
crafts. They include: Mark Davis, blacksmithing; Sharon Grist,

COOKIE CONTEST
To enter the cookie contest, bring one dozen of your best home
made cookies or bars to the festival by 2 p.m. The baking contest is
free to enter and open to everyone. Prizes will be awarded to the top
three recipes. Only homemade cookies and bars will be judged. Each
entry will be scored on cookie uniformity, visual appeal, taste and
overall quality. All entries must register by 2 p.m. on the day of the
festival. Each entry must contain a dozen cookies or bars of the same
batch. However, contestants may submit more than one entry. After
judging, all remaining cookies and bars will be sold to raise money
for next year’s contest. The winners will be announced and prizes
awarded during the festival.
Mount Hermon Presbyterian Church will again sell a traditional
meal of pinto beans, combread, drinks and homemade desserts.
"These ‘good cookin’’ ladies then share their profits with local
service organizations,” said organizers.
BARN DANCE
An old-time bam dance, featuring the Georgia Mudcats with
Susan Davis calling, will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. in the old
Danielsville gym.
"You don’t have to bring a partner or know these dances to enjoy
this style of community dance," organizers said. "The caller will
teach you everything you need to know. Fun for all ages and great
exercise too."
The festival is funded in part by Madison County Habitat for
Humanity, Water's Edge Woods, Danielsville Hardware, Sam and
Maria DeRaimo, Graham Law Firm, Broad River Watershed
Association, Merchants and Farmers Bank, Zorbanos Realty and
Investment and Flying Dog Productions. The program is supported

Arts through an appropriation of the Georgia General Assembly in
partnership with the Morgan Cultural Center.
