On Saturday, bluegrass group Pine Mountain Grass will be the first to perform (at 1 p.m.), followed by local singer/songwriter Elliott Collett at 5 p.m.

Two young ladies, known as aly’an, from Lexington, Ky. will then hit the stage at 7 p.m. — opening up for country music artist Bucky Covington, this year’s headliner, who will take the stage around 9 p.m.
