    The Festival started in 2006 , at The Peaceful Bend Vineyard , The first Performers were actually The Ozark Alliance and Steve and Penny Kilby , followed the next night by Norman and Nancy Blake..
    Alex and Jenny Vaughn played as a duo in the winegarden during dinner before the Blakes came on ..
    Norman commented as to how it was young pickers like Alex and Jenny that kept olpickers in the unemployment line..
