Western Carolina University presented its Mountain Heritage Awards for 2008 on Saturday (Sept. 27) to a fiddle and guitar duo that performs “Appalachian swing” and to a clogging troupe that has been kicking up its heels in its own unique style for 37 years.
If you hold Mountain Heritage Day, they will come. Despite a gasoline crunch and forecasts for a rainy day, a healthy crowd turned out Saturday (Sept. 27) for the 34th edition of Mountain Heritage Day, Western Carolina University’s annual celebration of Appalachian culture.
