2024 SPONSORS

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors. We are so grateful for the continued support of businesses, individuals, and other organizations as we continue to mature as an event and a non-profit organization.

Title Sponsor:
Patrick County Tourism

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Patrick County is a jewel of a destination, offering activities for the whole family. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, tap your toes to traditional mountain music along the Crooked Road Music Trail, tour our unique wineries—Stanburn and Villa Appalaccia—or visit local artisan studios on the Hidden Treasures Artisan Trail. Enjoy a sun-filled day at the Gordon Trent Golf Course, Fairy Stone State Park, or one of our eight annual festivals. History buffs can browse our local museum, visit Jack's Creek Covered Bridge, or step into the Victorian era at the Reynolds Homestead or at the Civil War Reenactment at Laurel Hill, the birthplace of Gen. J.E.B. Stuart. A variety of restaurants and local stores awaits you. And after a long day, relax in luxury at Primland Resort or settle in at one of our cabins or a locally owned bed and breakfast.
