The Hi-Horse Cloggers of Stanardsville, Virginia, is a nonprofit organization founded in 1985. The Hi-Horse Cloggers has steadily grown from 6 members to the current 32 members, ranging in ages from 6 to 67. The traditional style of clogging is promoted by the Hi-Horse Cloggers through their performances and teaching. Although this style of clogging is slowly giving way to a more modern dance method, some of which is included in our performances, we are striving to keep the traditional style alive as it is part of our American heritage.
3:15pm to 5:00pm - Stone Ridge Bluegrass Band
Musical bands come and go, and they're still going. The Stoneridge Band was established in 2003 and they play because they love the music and love playing it. They do a lot of donated services for assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and churches. The private performances help with gas money, however, none of the members are really in it for the money. They perform because they love to do it.
The current members are:
Larry McKelvey / Bass and Spokesman - Boston, Va.
Shirley McKelvey / Mandolin and Vocal - Boston Va.
Dan Lewis / Guitar and Vocal - Woodville, Va.
Nora Crawford / Vocal - Bealeton, Va.
