Residents of all ages came out, dressed in their best hillbilly gear for old time games such as hillbilly golf (ladder golf) and  hillbilly horseshoes (washer toss), barbecued concessions and other attractions such as Cui the clown and local band André’s Rock Café. Watch for other museum fundraising events coming in August.
