North River Farms\u2019 barn will be the setting for day-long bluegrass and country music from local musicians Izzi Hughes, Finkelstein Three, and The Lonesome Road Band. Food trucks will be on-site with offerings that include wood-fired pizza, gourmet sandwiches, southern cooking, barbecue, snow-cones and homemade ice cream.<\/p>\n

Apple Country Engine & Tractor Association returns with more tractors of all kinds, including antiques. This show offers locals and visitors an opportunity to come out and connect with local farmers and their families and to hear stories of how agriculture used to be and how it is now. Demonstrations of equipment will be held.<\/p>\n

For horse lovers, Davis Ranch LLC will be back with its 2nd Annual Spring Open Horse Show. The event is open to any riders, and will be the first show of the Davis Ranch & Etowah Riding Club\u2019s Championship Series. Come out and cheer on your favorite horse and rider as they compete for a blue ribbon and earn points for the series. Ridin\u2019 on Faith Ministries Drill Team will open the show and present a special performance at intermission. The National Barrel Horse Association NC-08 division will close the show with fast-paced championship barrel racing and pole bending.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, attendees are invited to make their way to North Mills River to meet DB bar D Outfitters and Mills River Partnership. Mills River Partnership will provide fun, hands-on activities in the river to teach about native trout and bugs that are a vital part of keeping the river clean and healthy.
