28th Annual Old Timers Day Festival

Can you believe it? Another year has passed and the 28th Annual Old Timers Day Festival is coming up real soon -- Saturday, September 1st from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. There will be something for everyone...

• Live Music
• Kid's Games
• Arts and Crafts
• Dancers
  
• Food and Drink

This year is going to be spectacular... There will even be an incredible kids tent with art projects, costumes and other crafts provided by the Ravenwood Center.

Originally created to thank the General Store patrons and to openly appreciate the  "old timers" for what they do for us around here, the festival has now evolved into a music feast! The music starts early -- at 1:00 PM, and the variety is amazing.

This year's celebration will feature popular favorites such as  StarDevils, Jake Speed and the Freddies, and all the way from Austin Texas... The Cashman. See the schedule below for more information and show times.

OLD TIMERS DAY SCHEDULE 

1:00 to 1:45
Gunpowder Creek
Ben Pedigo who played banjo for Bill Monroe teams up with local Forrest Utley to bring a blugrassy down home sound right on the front porch of the General Store.
 
2:00 to 3:00
Children's parade and other merriment

3:15 to 3:45
John Lawson
Soloist from Frankfort. Heavenly influenced by Guy Clark and other greats.

3:45 to 4:15
Anna Scala and Friends
They do a little bit of everything including some great original kids music.

4:30 to 5:15
Tupelo Honey
These local Cincinnati girls offer beautiful vocals and excellent musical talent. This is their very first first time playing in Rabbit Hash.
 
5:45 to 6:45
Jake Speed and the Freddies
A Rabbit Hash favorite! Local singer and songwriter, Jake Speed, has a style all his own and the Freddies are a perfect match.

7:00 to 8:00
The Downtown County Band
Another local favorite playing the best of bluegrass.

8:15 to 9:15
The Star Devils
Red hot rockabilly!! This band just played the last barn dance in Rabbit Hash... The barn was rockin' (REALLY).

9:30 to 11:00
The Cashman
Out of Austin, Texas, The Cashman will be making that traditional Texas blues sound right here in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky!

Rain or shine, we'll be here so come on down! Please carpool if you can. Parking will be limited. Some generous neighbors have donated space for parking about a half mile down river. There will be a shuttle to bring you to the party from the parking area -- if you're in the mood for a hay ride!

Set as favorite

Hey all,
When we went there they had games for the kids, women made Quilts, they had I can't remember how many differents bands there, had over 500 people there, when we got there we parked our car way down by the river then we walked to Rabbit Hash, they had a big gathering there for the food all bought something there to eat, they had prizes there for differrent contests there. When we were there I saw things around there in the store, that were home made, picture that my Mother was in at her school, it was great to see. Outside visited relatives who were there, saw a sign with names on it that had names of relatives on it. Met some relatives who live around there also.
It was a fun & very interesting day. I remember when my Mother would go there to visit & when she came back home she had a great time being there & seeing Relatives also.
When we can we want to go back there again & see if they do anything else different & just see the place & all again.
Be back at ya,
Karen

Hello Everyone

Hey, my Mother & Uncle were born there. So was my Grandparents & GreatGrandParents around there. My Grandmother was Alberta Ryle Married to Bluford William Clore. Would love to hear from others around there I have been doing my Family Tree. Been to "Old Timers Day" with my husband awhile back what a great day that was, we were with Paul & Viola (Horton) Clore "more Cousins" also. That was in the 90s. Wish we could be there this year, my Mother Hazel Lillian Clore used to be there alot when she could. Will wanted to say hi & God Bless all. Be back at ya, I think it is beautiful there.
Have a nice day & take care.
