Description:
The Ricky Jones Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser with live music from Joey Cox will be held on Saturday, October 20th at the Mount Olivet Community Center.

The fundraiser also includes a Pig Roast and BBQ catered by ABC Custom Works. There will be a 50/50 raffle and door prizes.

Musician Joey Cox will be playing his bluegrass music and all are invited to bring their instruments and join in.

Joey grew up listening to bluegrass music with his family and playing it as long as he can remember. He started playing in a band situation at age 10 with his Grandpa's band the "Black Mountain Ramblers."

Inspired by banjo legends like Scott Vestal, Sammy Shelor & Jodi King, Joey began attending different festivals throughout Virginia and the Carolinas. After placing at many local competitions, he joined the Hillsville-based group, "Fast Forward." Joey has also played in bands Blue Ridge, Lou Reid & Carolina and with the legendary Doyle Lawson and his band Quicksilver.

Admission is $10 and tickets can be purchased in advance at S-C Farm and Home Center as well as from local FFA members.
