1976... We celebrated our country's Bicentinnial and the 4th Annual IFG with a classic musical line-up.
"The Gathering brought together hundresd of musicians from all over the Midwest. Old-time sounds of fiddles, dulcimers, guitars, mandolins and banjos could be heard nearly continuously throughout the weekend. Highlighting the event were several concerts held under the canopy of majestic oaks from the stage decked out with a thatched roof, pot-bellied stove and bales of straw."
