Saturday will feature a U.S. Pony Club tetrathlon competition. Competitors will demonstrate their riding and target shooting skills at the horse arena.
Continuous Live Music
The Old Iron Spring Festival features continous live music both days on two stages. Great performers from all over will be there - some will be familiar favorites, others are guarenteed to become future favorites. Genres range from Folk and Blue Grass to Celtic, Oldies and Rock.
Saturday opens with our headliners from last year, popular country rockers Skeeter Creek, followed by entertaining New York City rockers Jules and the Family , and the sweet, passionate acoustic sounds of Crossing North. Next up is The Doug Kwartler Band - one of our favorites from last year - who also hails from New York City, followed by local favorites Red Haired Strangers. Flynn 529 wraps up our regular program as our headliners at 5:00PM, followed by our Oldies Sock Hop Dance for all you oldies fans from 7PM - 9PM, featuring the fabulous Pony Tails Band!
Sunday morning begins with Tentacles Heavenward,aka Brittny & Zac Kissinger, followed by Zac's band, Happy Balky & the Good Livin'. Vermonter Phil Henry hits our acoustic stage next, followed by Old Iron Spring Festival founder and local legend, Kevin McKrell along with his talented daughter Kate McKrell. Alana Sangiacomo does a fantastic job singing many of your pop and country favorites as she opens for our Sunday headliners, Aztec Two-Step, who many will remember as popular staples of progressive FM and college radio back in the 70's.
Our venues feature excellent sound quality, comfortable seating, and a dance floor in our Main Stage Pavilion. Both venues are covered pavilions, in case we get a spring shower or two. Come prepared to hang out and really enjoy a day - or a whole weekend - of great musical performances.
