On Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th, the annual Mountain Keepers Music Festival will be held at Kayford Mountain's Stanley Heirs Park . This concert is the premier music festival that celebrates environmental justice in southern West Virginia. The two day event will feature local and regional musicians playing a variety of bluegrass, gospel, country, rock, jam and old time music, as well as a pot-luck meal. This is a free concert that will celebrate Appalachian life and attendees are encouraged to bring a covered dish.
The festival will feature many emerging artists who celebrate their homes and heritage.
Stanley Heirs Park is located near Dawes, WV, which is about 35 minutes south of Charleston off of Interstate 64. For more information about the concert and directions: www.myspace.com/mtkeepersfest

You know the people that say utopia isn't possible have already given up. Living sustainably in balance with our environment and food sources will bring us the freedom to live in harmony, and provide the opportunity for all to excel in their efforts, dreams and life path. Utopia is not only possible but it is the very essence that should guide our dreams and vision for ourselves and with each other. It is the horizon we should all strive for everyone and every nation. Anything short of that will lead us astray.
