Last year was my first Grey Fox Festival, I know there will be many more in my future! I am glad I was at the last one at the old site, it was sad to see this old stage go down knowing the history of all the great shoes that tread on her. But I will not miss the 30 degree list that stayed with me after camping on the “Hill” The Walsh farm site looks great and flat. It is good to know that this is a change for the better!

I’m gonna miss the Hill, to me that was half the fun.

Wow, that’s so sad. So much great music has been played on that stage. I’ve had so many good times sitting on that hill staring at the stage, watching sunsets. Totally depressing. Did they at least save a piece to build into the the new one similar to what they did with the Opry? Truly a sad day.

Very, very sad! It was so emotional to watch that video clip….it was like part of my heart was being torn down! I grew up in, on and around that stage way back WHEN…before it was Winterhawk or Grey Fox….when “Buck White and the Down Home folks” (Sharon and Cheryl White and Jerry Douglas) played on it during a Berkshire Mountain Bluegrass festival I believe in 1975. There will always be a soft spot in my heart for that farm, the hill and all the performers that shaped my love for the greatest music of all time! It surely will be missed! I feel like there has been a death in my family! I hope to make more incredible memories at the new spot, but NOTHING will ever replace the joys and experiences I’ve had from that place!

A sweet sadness to be sure. So much pleasure, so many treasured times embodied in that old stage…………
Already we have begun to store monents to treasure from Oak Hill, not forgetting that the essence of what we treasure is not the place, or the stage, but the people.
