Bluegrass Cookout ~ Sat, Jul 4, 2015

On Saturday, July 4, 2015, the sleepy town of Smithville will host the Annual Fiddlers' Jamboree & Craft Festival, one of country's premier bluegrass competitions. Just a few minutes from the Dekalb County Courthouse, where the hoedown takes place, Evins Mill is a convenient springboard for the festival - as well as a cool escape from the heat and a relaxing destination for great meals and overnight accommodations.

To that end, the resort is hosting its own annual Bluegrass Cookout from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. that same Saturday. Appetizers are available as early as 6:00 p.m. As always, guests are invited to arrive early and enjoy a stroll to Carmac Falls or a game of pool at Cortland Game Hall. Early or not, come with an appetite, for the menu is expansive...
