Butchering Demo:

Ever wonder how to break down a whole hog? Master butcher Marc Pauvert of the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore will take guests through a demonstration on the art of butchering a whole hog from Spring House Farm in Loudoun County, VA.

 

Bluegrass Music:

Dry Mill Road will be providing the evening’s entertainment with their “NewGrass” blend of old, new & traditional with a surprising twist that will transport you down a road that’s ‘Older than the Hills.’ The international touring band picks its way through high-energy, heartfelt original material with a good mix of traditional music and “not so” traditional takes on Led Zeppelin, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles thrown in for a full-blown entertainment experience.
