The Foothills Hayride is a musical experience in Stokes County that
contributes to the promotion of local musicians and the venues in which
they perform. Musical gatherings such as the Foothills Hayride have been
going on for some time. It is our goal to assist those in search
of quality Bluegrass and Old Time music. Additionally, the Hayride periodically
gathers to sponsor large events such as Royce's Music Jam
and The
Stokes Stomp in Danbury, NC.
