Merlefest is not a bluegrass bash. Doc always wanted it to be traditional plus. Anti is like a lot of Wilkes county people as they have never been and want to talk back about something they know nothing about.

I've never seen those things at the blue grass bash . Everyone's so polite , I haven't even been mugged by a maga Christian voter. Maybe this year will be the year I'll report back.

Last I heard merlefest doesn't allow alcohol at the event and I have never heard of gunfire at that event. There have not been rednecks and good old boys at merlefest in decades. It is a crowd of hippies, hipsters, trust fund kids, wannabes and upper middle class and above.

Anti....you go and party with your homeys at Tybee Beach. They will eat you alive. To compare the events is utter nonsense , except to libs like you that are so far removed from real life realities. Please, please go and party with Tyronne and his gang of thugs.

Thousands of White rednecks expected this weekend for an annual bluegrass bash at Wilkes Community College will be greeted by dozens of extra police officers and barricades closing off neighborhood streets. While the college will remain open, officials are blocking access to nearby parking.

Wilkesboro has grappled with the festival known as Merlefest since good old boys started it more than 30 years ago. Residents regularly groused about loud music, the stench of cheap marijuana, trash littering the streets and revelers urinating in yards.

Those complaints boiled over into fear and outrage a year ago when weekend crowds of up to 48,000 people daily overwhelmed the 3-mile (4.8 kilometer) downtown. That left a small police force scrambling to handle a flood of emergency calls reporting gunfire, drug overdoses, traffic jams and fist fights.

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (AP) - Thousands of Black college students expected this weekend for an annual spring bash at Georgia's largest public beach will be greeted by dozens of extra police officers and barricades closing off neighborhood streets. While the beach will remain open, officials are blocking access to nearby parking.

Tybee Island east of Savannah has grappled with the April beach party known as Orange Crush since students at Savannah State University, a historically Black school, started it more than 30 years ago. Residents regularly groused about loud music, trash littering the sand and revelers urinating in yards.

Those complaints boiled over into fear and outrage a year ago when weekend crowds of up to 48,000 people daily overwhelmed the 3-mile (4.8 kilometer) island. That left a small police force scrambling to handle a flood of emergency calls reporting gunfire, drug overdoses, traffic jams and fist fights.
