This is the annual Sorghum Festival at Whitetop Mountain. There was a bluegrass band playing, and you have to admit that the music makes you want to move. Move how, I don't know, but move. They were making sorghum molasses (of course), but by the time we got there the boiling was done and they were scooping it into jars. They let everyone get a fingerfull of molasses out of the pot. It was very sweet, kind of like honey. Jon bought a jar. We also got some Bolt-style BBQ chicken, which is the yummiest BBQ chicken ever. Unfortunately, because we were late, they were running low on BBQ sauce so our chicken had more of a spicy rub on it than any sauce. It was still pretty tasty.

There were a few craft booths, but the booth I thought was the coolest was some guy showing off his hobby of finding "lost" apples. He travels around, visiting old, old homesteads and orchards looking for heritage varieties of apples that aren't grown anymore. He said he has 800 different varieties of apple trees for sale! His website is www.applesearch.org. Its pretty interesting.
