Square dance and flat foot dance are featured during Saturday workshops and demos. At night, old time music and dance kick off the concert as the Hoorah Cloggers perform Appalachian dance with fellow New River Valley sensations, the Indian Run String Band. Fiddler Rickie Simpkins, inducted into the Virginia Folk Music Hall of Fame in 2008, brings together an outstanding quartet that reflects his enduring roots in the classic bluegrass of his native Virginia. In 1983, Rickie, his brother Ronnie, Sammy Shelor, and Mark Newton formed the famed Virginia Squires, and since then the rest is heritage music history.
