Description:
The Floyd Country Store hosts The Floyd Radio Show Season 10 Virtual Extravaganza on Saturday, September 5, 2020.

Please join us for a virtual Floyd Radio Show 10th season kick-off event! We are excited to launch our 10th Floyd Radio Show season at the Floyd Country Store. The Floyd Radio Show is a variety show featuring original radio plays, comedy bits, ads, jingles, music, and more. Due to COVID-19, we cannot present the first part of our season in person so we have moved it online.

The first Floyd Radio Show of the 2020/2021 season will be a special one. It is our 10th season, which is a big deal, plus we are producing this in conjunction with the Friends of the Floyd Country Store fundraising campaign. And this special virtual online event will feature music and stories from our musical friends of the Floyd Country Store.

This special event will feature an incredible line up of old time and bluegrass musicians, sharing stories, music, and memories about their connection to the Floyd Country Store. We will feature some Floyd Radio Show skits and commercials done virtually. Some of the musicians will be live at the Floyd Country Store while others will be sending in their musical messages from all around the country.

Line-up includes:
• Sammy Shelor & Jesse Smathers (Lonesome River Band)
• Gene Parker & Allen Mills (Lost & Found)
• Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms
• Alice Gerrard
• Redd Volkaert
• Dori Freeman & Nick Falk
• Bill & The Belles
• Jeremy Stephens and Corrina Rose Logston (High Fidelity)
• Elizabeth LaPrelle
• The New Macedon Rangers
• Twin Creeks Stringband
• Mac Traynham & Friends

This year has been tough for many small businesses, and The Floyd Country Store is no exception. The weekly event known around the world, The Friday Night Jamboree, cannot take place as it once did—packing folks of all ages onto the dance floor and along the streets every Friday night. The Store is adapting to this new reality and continuing to present traditional Appalachian music through small outdoor events and online live streams. Despite constant innovation and hard work to provide music, shopping and freshly-made food, business at The Floyd Country Store has dropped dramatically, and owners Dylan Locke and Heather Krantz wonder how they can make it through to the other side.

Donations can be made by contributing to The Friend's of the Floyd Country Store's GoFundMe campaign at https://www.gofundme.com/f/sustain-the-floyd-country-store-through-covid or by emailing info@floydcountrystore.com.
