The 34th Annual Pioneer Day festival at the Mountain Gateway Museum drew people from all over to Old Fort Saturday. Folks at Pioneer Day were able to hear bluegrass singer and musician Wayne Erbsen in the amphitheater on grounds of the museum. Two bluegrass-based bands: Possum Creek and Carolina Express performed on the amphitheatre stage as well. The Friendship Dulcimer Club played old-time favorites on the museum’s front porch. The crowds were able to enjoy traditional mountain crafts, food trucks, vintage farm tools and equipment, antique cars, Confederate re-enactors, special exhibits, storytellers, children’s games, and much more as part of this family-oriented event. In addition to music, crafts, and food, various community organizations - including McDowell County Public Library, Keep McDowell Beautiful, McDowell County Historical Society, Old Fort Extension and Community Association, and the North Carolina Home Guard – had their booths set up to showcase their services. The Route 70 Cruisers also held their annual Mountain Thunder car show in downtown Old Fort and showed off their classic cars, motorcycles and trucks.
