Our first
outing was to attend the Holiday Hills Music Park Bluegrass festival in Laurel
Hills, FL.
We first
stopped for one night at a former state park campground which was turned over
to the city of Florala, AL. It is a
small but very nice place to camp. It
seems that several campers are there for longer periods. Everyone was very friendly; Anneke met a few
ladies who play dominoes in the afternoon and she was invited to play with
them. Not having played this game before
she still managed to win four out of the five games. Since we were there for only one night, we do
not know if she would have been invited back the next day.
It is nice
park that makes a great stop over or extended stay. It is a relatively short walk to town with
shopping and restaurant choices.
This was our
second time at the blue grass festival.
It is on a large private property with well kept grounds and RV spots in
the grass fields with power and water.
In addition to the formal music performances in the covered pavilion,
many people come to meet fellow enthusiasts and camp for the weekend. You can walk the grounds day and night and
listen to many gatherings of bluegrass ad hoc performances.
Most of the
stage performers were family groups with members as young as 10. They were all excellent with amazing
talent. They play a mix of bluegrass and
gospel.
We really
enjoy the music and atmosphere.
