Mandolin Farm Bluegrass Festival is back! Despite missing last year due to personal reasons, and this year’s 100º Labor Day weekend weather, owner and promoter Willie Jarrells pulled off another great weekend of bluegrass entertainment.

Although Mandolin Farm is a fairly young festival, it has become one of the favorites of festival goers looking for great bluegrass music in a family friendly setting. From the moment you pull up to the main gate at Mandolin Farm you know you’re among family. After all, who, other than family, would actually help you set up your camper? Or for that matter set it up all the way for you, as you sit and watch? And the staff doesn’t disappear after they set you up. Help is always within a few minutes away at “The Farm”, from Willie’s dad helping out with electric to his uncle taking deposits for your site next year.

Beyond a first-class staff, you’ll also find top-notch bluegrass music at Mandolin Farm. Rhonda Vincent, IIIrd Tyme Out, Mountain Heart, Ralph Stanley, Marty Raybon and Dailey & Vincent are among the many great acts that have entertained crowds at Mandolin Farm. And in case you’ve not had enough bluegrass after the music stops on stage, you can always catch one of the many jams throughout the campsites. This year one of the favorites were the Weary Jammers. As host band, the Jammers entertained the crowd on stage for two shows on both Friday and Sunday as well as playing late into the night off stage.

If you’re looking for a great festival with the best of facilities, great music and a staff that make you feel like family, then you should put Mandolin Farm on your list of “must attend” events.

This was the second annual summertime festival held at Mandolin Farm, in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. Once again Wille Jarrels put on a great show. Smaller than the regular fall festival but just as enjoyable, this weekend was filled with great music on-stage and in the campground. Nothing beats listening to great jam sessions at Mandolin Farm!

This was the 5th Annual Mandolin Farm Bluegrass Festival, in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. And just as the past 4 years Willie Jarrells put on an awesome festival. You just don’t come across festivals like this everyday. Willie has a great staff of people working for him and you really feel like they appreciate you attending their little corner of Kentucky. From the moment you enter the property and they offer to help you set up your camper to the time you drive away on Monday morning you feel like you’re at home with your closest friends and family.

Thanks for another great year Willie, and we’re all looking forward to next year!

Michael and I went to Mandolin Farm Bluegrass Festival over 4th of July weekend and decided to leave the camper there for the week to dry out due to the nasty rain on the 4th.

Betsy and I ran down to pick it up the following weekend and I ran across this old house in Flemingsburg. I have passed this many times and decided to finally stop and shoot it. There was a really cool old fireplace and mantel inside, but Betsy wouldn’t let me go in to shoot it. Take a look at the shots and see if you agree with her. I thought it looked safe enough! If she wasn’t there I probably would have gone in and the place collapse in on me. Thanks for protecting me Bets!

There’s just a few here but check them out. Enjoy!
