The First Annual Founders Day was a big success, drawing a large crowd to Pickens for the all-day festival.
Crowds enjoyed music from the stages all day, and were encouraged to bring their own musical instruments. Many did so, and jam sessions sprang up around the city throughout the day.
Attendees got to hear from established musicians, such as Shannon and Heather Slaughter, and up-and-comers like the members of the Young Appalachian Musicians program. There was even a visit from the county's founder himself, Gen. Andrew Pickens.
